Fates Collide: rip it or buy it?
Completing Fates Collide as singles (about $262 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$1,549, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$43.02/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$1,549 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $43).
