>>33206601The market has to get it's supply from somewhere. Trading for staples and desired cards is smarter than trying to open for them, but opening packs is how those cards even get to the market in the first place. If you want something specific, save packs and get it. Then after you have what you need why not just open stuff to see what you get? Saving up 500 packs is good and all but what do you even need that many for? SR Ultraballs and FA Ns?
That said, I really wish there was a way to grind extra cards into coins or something for PTCGO.
