EX Dragon Frontiers: rip it or buy it?
Completing EX Dragon Frontiers as singles (about $229 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$72,000, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$1999.99/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$72,000 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $2,000).
