Roaring Skies: rip it or buy it?
Completing Roaring Skies as singles (about $241 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$2,640, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$73.33/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$2,640 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $73).
