Flashfire: rip it or buy it?
Completing Flashfire as singles (about $155 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$5,764, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$160.11/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$5,764 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $160).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $155 — ripping a box runs ~$5,609 more.
- Top chase — M Charizard EX (X) (Secret) — Secret Rare: $1,501 as a single vs. ~$29,000 to crack for one (est.).
