I keep seeing these boxes on ebay for between 400-500 bucks. Has anyone ever bought an X-men box for this much? It seems super-high priced. Is it really worth that much?!
I would of course love to get a hold of one, but I just can't justify dropping so much $$$ on a box.
PS (I know you guys will appreciate this): I came up on a sealed IQ box last month. Thought about selling it but instead sat down like a NERD and opened every pack. I literally sniffed the new-card smell when I cracked each pack. Got Power Leech and a ton of other rare shit. SO WORTH IT.
nice going man
Good question on the value of a box.
My rule is that if X-Men R/VRs are worth $10 on average. In 36 packs getting 1 R/VR per pack would make the average box value is $360. I only count the value of the R/VRs for my calculation.
There are about a dozen R/VRs that are priced over $10 (see price list on http://theorangeking.com). The last box I opened I got three of those but not much else and the box value of the R/VRs came out to be $220. I got 6 Crux Payback and 5 Cerebro Computer Origins. A $40 value for about a third of the box. Not a good investment for me.
Hope this helps.
Right on. Thanks for the analysis. By the way, coincidentally, I just purchased some cards from you for the first time. You sent me a bunch of Crux specials and I'm ready to play her for the first time. Thanks!
