Guardians Rising: rip it or buy it?
Completing Guardians Rising as singles (about $222 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$1,293, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$35.92/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$1,293 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $36).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $222 — ripping a box runs ~$1,071 more.
- Top chase — Sylveon GX (Secret) — Secret Rare: $180 as a single vs. ~$3,900 to crack for one (est.).
