HeartGold SoulSilver: rip it or buy it?
Completing HeartGold SoulSilver as singles (about $478 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$18,000, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$499.99/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$18,000 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $500).

- Top chase — Lugia Legend (Top) — Ultra Rare: $342 as a single vs. ~$72,000 to crack for one (est.).
