Primal Clash: rip it or buy it?
Completing Primal Clash as singles (about $316 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$2,301, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$63.93/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$2,301 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $64).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $316 — ripping a box runs ~$1,985 more.
- Top chase — Primal Kyogre EX (Alpha - 149 Full Art) — Ultra Rare: $365 as a single vs. ~$9,200 to crack for one (est.).
