EX Power Keepers: rip it or buy it?
Completing EX Power Keepers as singles (about $277 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$34,200, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$949.99/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$34,200 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $950).
