Unleashed: rip it or buy it?
Completing Unleashed as singles (about $253 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$13,864, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$385.12/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
