>>45587984To follow up because post is too long, if you started buying 1 case of every set 5 years ago starting with primal clash ending in cosmic eclipse and decided to sell everything today based on eBay sold listings you'd be looking at the following per box;
Primal Clash - $200-220
Roaring Skies - $240-270
Ancient Origins - $300-400
BREAKthrough - $190-220
BREAKpoint - $150-180

obviously eBay can be inflated at times and these prices are based on average sold listings excluding fringe cases where a single box sold for 50% of these values or 50% more than these values, but before fees and any other costs associated with the sale you'd be looking at $22,680 on the low end and $27,060 on the high end from 120 boxes that you bought for $10,800.
the biggest problem people face with investing in cardboard is the expectation of it being a "get rich quick" method, those only exist by being in the right place at the right time and are controlled by the variable called luck which is something you'll never be able to calculate for.
Obviously I'm not a financial expert and all of this is hyper-autist rough math and isn't being presented as 100% accurate, it's more or so a guideline for explaining the method so take it with a grain of salt.
