These would've been fun as a 20-25 buck item, meaning you can't expect much of it. Fun for someone looking for some random slabs, maybe their first one, but this feels like a company that wants to make 25 bucks profit for 20 dollar items.

@SoLiX I disagree, no one is chomping at the bit to buy 90% of those slabs/lightly played cards/chilling reign booster packs at market price. If they didn't throw these in "mystery" packs they'd be sitting on most of this product for years. Most honest sellers would hope to get $20 ea. on this unwanted bulk, maybe even settle for less just to move off of it. Even at 25 would be no go for me. Your just paying market price for other people's undesirables.

I would say it's the opposite of trustworthy. Putting a random 15 value on different cards, based on the cheapest eBay listing in the world is a way to manipulate the market and get sympathy and drama views and support. How both a modern 0.5 dollar card and a ultra 8 dollar card worth 15 graded, especially when the grading itself costs more than 25 per card for most people around the globe?

Getting back $20 in value kind of makes sense. The company has to buy the packaging, possibly pay to have the graded and they still need to make a profit so maybe they are making $15ish per mystery pack and selling them for $40 and making $15 - 20 profit. Most companies do a X2 mark up whatever various items so the value sucks but makes sense.

The problem with these is they never ever let you get a win where you end up with $100 value in a $40-50 box.
