Why are these so expensive? is it worth it? Lord of the rings special edition collector box break

[@Buell117]

I like the way you show card value and box value keep them up. Better to watch you than to lose money myself.

[@dcijluther4015]

It’s crazy to think 330 was expensive for this box. This is pushing 900 now.

[@LtScooby_]

Now these boxes are running for a THOUSAND dollars. WHY?!

[@kinglukemtg]

Help me out and throw a like on here for me. Lol

[@dennishanlon8831]

You make some of the best mtg skits :)

Rough box but still a good vid

[@Party12357]

You got it! Keep up the good work man

[@HearthenRealms]

Opened two boxes one day. I was opening them with a girl who knew nothing about MTG. First box I made 100$ profit. Second box I cracked 004/100 Dawn of a New Age and scared the shit out of her cheering. So I was feeling good and decided to follow the unwritten rule and have her crack one pack to see her luck. Im going through my pack and its nothing special and she goes, ooooohhhh this looks pretty and hands me a foil poster one ring. I got so excited and she had no idea what was happening. "So I did good right?!?!?" "Yes babe, you did good."

[@clintonkarr1569]

Damn that sucks bro. First half of the box started kinda fire. Can’t believe you only got one poster card.

[@kinglukemtg]

Ikr, I opened a few on my stream and they were loaded

[@dantegivez]

bought one back in December and had some massive luck, pulled a surge foil one ring and three poster cards and some other goodies like a cavern of souls reskin. all in all value is at $350 for my box with everything counted in.

[@roylandrum1471]

I’m very glad your posting these opening videos, glad your posting more content. I really enjoy it bro.

[@vicentenced]

Lord of the rings packs are okay at most, but if you get the Lord of the rings jumpstart packs. Those have tended to have some good hitters for the money

[@MJFacas]

I like the artistry of the Poster cards but hate them for play.

[@Muchomango1337]

These boxes go now for 900+, i bought two for 500 each in April and opened both up, wish i would of bought the whole case

[@alexn8795]

This might be misinformation or a rumor but my local store told me that the reason these are so expensive is because people are confusing them with the regular lord of the ring collector boosters(green packaging). The green packs have the good stuff. These barely have any rares in them. He told me they should be like $18 packs.

[@MuniaXe]

Really love your content, been following you for a month or so, I just came back to magic after a 8 year break. And never played commander before, could you do a video on power levels, that is something I cant grasp. Big up all the way from Scandinavia.

[@breadguytv]

Why don't these have box toppers? didn't the original run have them?

[@MTGnEWbie420]

bought one box couple of days back from amazon. Came back already opened with token cards rofl . i paid 440 usd for it with taxes

[@nitenitesucka]

tough look when he says at the beginning on the hunt for a serialized card....does he not know?

[@kinglukemtg]

The poster variants have serialized version in this set

[@negativehearts1643]

Wait I thought the special editions didn’t have serialized cards?

[@F1nalGamb1t]

There's 20 serialized cards in this set each out of 100, i think. They're the acid art poster art ones. No rings though that was just the first set

[@negativehearts1643]

@@F1nalGamb1t ahh ok that makes sense, but I would think if they are out of 100 most if not all would be pulled already. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@F1nalGamb1t]

@negativehearts1643 I missed the realms and relics as well, they're also out of 100 so there's 50 cards all out of 100 so 5000 serialized cards in the set. I think someone on reddit worked out the math to 1 in every 40 boxes for a serialized card. There's also no way to keep track of how many have been pulled since since most people that pull them sell it locally or keep it to themselves. So we'll never really know if they've all been pulled.

Bought a foil poster of the One Ring for $360 after taxes and shipping.

[@kinglukemtg]

Pulled one on the giveaway for Christmas eve

[@wakkawagga443]

Shire sheriff is kinda funny, cause sheriff comes from the word shire reeve

[@whoovesphd1]

I opened two boxes of this last week and pulled $660 from the first box. Back to back scroll one rings one foil and one non. That was the cost of the box basically. Also a lot of other hits. Second box not so well but got $300 worth of cards. I also got two foil posters in each but no serialized cards. This was just a bad box imo but gambling on the cards is too much fun

[@PROM3TH3US1991]

Is it just me or is WOTC just not putting value in collectors boxes for the price, even booster boxes are pretty bad the last year....

[@Dapper422]

The price is based on serialized cards. I hate it.

[@GrimmTutelage]

Damn that was a tough rip, this is not my experience with these. I have had varying success with 2 sub 200$ in value(but not this low) couple between $200-300 and 2 over value but 1 was because I hit a serialized card. This was a good watch nonetheless

[@tjayog8216]

hey its the dude from the commander shorts!

[@shortbusbillsfan8609]

the collectors boxes are just MTG version of loot boxes and gambling mechanics ill let others buy them crack them then. its just more cost effective to buy the 30cent cards I need and the few expensive ones rater then gamble on a 200-300-dollar collector box

[@andrewsutherland1909]

I think I've opened something like 40 collector packs since I started playing again back in '21 and if it wasn't for a borderless meathook I'd be 0/40 on getting pack value lol. Such scams.

[@justinhill5114]

Man if nothing else came from this set I love my lord of nazgul deck 😂

[@humphreywolfreallife]

That was Rough Rough Rough bro... I'm sorry that was so brutal loss versus gain. I know those serialized cards are worth something but... to me that wasn't even close.... not even 50 percent of what you paid in value back...

[@briankessinger862]

Im here for the analytics doggy!! Love your vids bro!

[@brianhaywood6270]

you cannot pack a serialized card from the special editions

They have serialized posters in these packs

Idk but I just popped an urborg from a regular one so I'm happy lol

Absolutely brutal, not a single card over $20.

Bro clearly hasn't watched or read lord of the rings with that pronunciation, but all good I like the running total and card value 👍

[@MrCrimAngel]

I mean the set has many high priced cards so it's bound to be expensive

[@anunusualironiccircumstanc2108]

Sorry to say but that was one of the worst LOTR boxes I’ve seen opened.

[@6Lcaddy]

$330 I will take 10.... now over 1200 a box :(

[@creid26]

I won a box is a raffle and it was probably the worst box I've ever opened. I've opened better bundles. That said, I only paid $20 cad so I really couldn't be mad.

These boxes are so expensive because of ppl like you that have no connection to the lord of the rings but still buy at absurd prices because you hope to hit a big investment like a serialized card.
