Phantom Forces: rip it or buy it?
Completing Phantom Forces as singles (about $211 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$8,327, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$231.3/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$8,327 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $231).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $211 — ripping a box runs ~$8,116 more.
- Top chase — Dialga EX (122 Secret Rare) — Secret Rare: $1,029 as a single vs. ~$42,000 to crack for one (est.).
