Fates Collide: rip it or buy it?
Completing Fates Collide as singles (about $213 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$1,608, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$44.67/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$1,608 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $45).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $213 — ripping a box runs ~$1,395 more.
- Top chase — Alakazam EX (Secret) — Secret Rare: $185 as a single vs. ~$4,900 to crack for one (est.).
