Shining Legends: rip it or buy it?
Completing Shining Legends as singles (about $98 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$3,929, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$109.15/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$3,929 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $109).
- Complete the set minus chases, as singles: $98 — ripping a box runs ~$3,831 more.
- Top chase — Mewtwo GX (Secret Shining) — Shiny Holo Rare: $809 as a single vs. ~$20,000 to crack for one (est.).
