just a question

[mtglord]

does any one know how much one of those big packs of booster packs cost?you know the ones theat have all the packs in them

[lawlessurchin]

If you mean Fat pack, which has the handbook of all the cards, a die, and 8 booster packs, that is usually around 30$

If you mean a booster box, itll be around 90-110 $, it has 36 booster packs in it. (If you buy the shards one i myself can guarantee about 4 mythic rares in that too)

A booster case is 6 booster boxes, just do the math for that, never really a discount on those.

I would think only retail stores and comic shops would buy booster cases. I can't imagine a regular person buying that unless they were really obsessive about magic. Speciall for this set, too; don't even think it's worth anything to buy a booster case unless you plan on selling the majority of it.

this set is deffanantly worth at least collecting because of the mythic rares.
and even if you dont like the set the mythic rares are great for trading.

Well, me and 2 friends of me handle it this way: we unite our financial forces (:p) to buy booster boxes whenever new editions are released. We then share them equally. So we buy 2 or 3 booster boxes about every 3 months, and each of us pays 70-80 euros (that are about 89-101 dollars). That's not TOO much if you only do it every 3 months, as said before.

k well this is what i do i have a deal set up with the people i buy from. every month i buy a box from him so when i do this he gives me a discount. i have been doing this for about 3 years now and i have it were I pay only $65 a box (very cheap). so if you can talk to the person u buy from he might be willing to b nice cause they buy them for about one sixth of how much u buy it for.

i also found another answer, you can buy the entire set with play sets of all cards on ebay pricy but worth it if you play tourney.

Ok, when it comes down to it, if you wanna find the best possible price on bulk magic cards (i.e. Booster boxes and bigger), the internet is your best friend. However, if you can find a trade show in your area that has magic the gathering stuff, you can get good prices there because usually a distributor will show up to large events like that. Example: if you're in the North Orange County/LA area of California, Frank & Sons Collectible show is a great place to buy singles and bulk. Boxes will range from 70-95 USD at most (95 being 10E) and the selection's usually pretty good.
