I still dont understand why this box becomes expensive

It's the age old question, what moved up first, the singles, or the sealed? In this case it's going up so high because all the singles are very desirable which pushes box prices higher, then the more boxes are cracked, fewer remain which pushes box prices higher then the singles go higher because there are fewer on the market. It's pretty much a gamma squeeze of cardboard

@@PhilosopherCards Data tends to show it's the singles that move first. Price doesn't tend to increase in cases until demand for singles makes it lucrative to open the boxes. This was also a special edition set around christmas that many seemed to have skipped. Also only 1.5 million (vs 3million previous run) of these cards we're printed this run, with apparently a moderately increased surge and mythic pull rate. Make's it more feasible to pull a serialized card. That'll go for 2-3k vs the previous set with realative to the newer run, few serializeds that go for 10k (Elvish ring).

In response to higher box prices some singles can go up, you'll see that in the data in common cards going for a few dollars now. Demand for these usually doesn't increase enough to justify the prices they start going for. Good way to detect uptrends, when the price levels off or decreases you'll start to see normalization.

Oh that's a hard debate. I think it depends. If you are cracking for singles, how many of those singles can you buy with 900$? What's your upside potential if you crack it, what's the downside potential? If you are holding sealed - its probably a pretty good long term investment, but when the time comes, do you have the means to sell the box through ebay and take on the risk of potentially getting scammed? Depends I think on your plans for the box!

Let's look at the probabilities of not buying cases for this product. Most likely every store, even a reputable ones will be opening cases and in many cases, once a serialized card is found will put the other remaining boxes aside for consumer sales. That means that most likely you will be chasing the other rares, which is not a bad thing, as we saw here. One box worth the price , another not no much. That said, the odds are still in your favor if you were to buy 2 to 4 boxes that you could break even at best, maybe a little profit if lucky. Unfortunetly the buyer of singles will still only be the collector of LotR not the MTG player.

Not at all - I’d say the EV in these are around 600 - 700 per box. If you’re in the market to buy this open it, enjoy it, and hold your value it’s worth it - if you’re in the market to flip - it’s not. Unless you paid what I did. But I didn’t flip it - I wanted the chance and big serialized pulls and one rings
