Price advantage: Why sealed products are cheaper than expected

A common misconception is that individual packs are cheaper or more flexible. In fact, in most cases, it's worth buying a booster display —that is, a complete box with 30 (Japanese) or 36 (English/German) booster packs. Why?

• Cheaper price per pack : Single pack prices are often significantly higher than the display average.

• Better rates for rare cards : Sealed displays often have guaranteed or fairly distributed hits.

• Increasing collector value : Originally packaged boxes can increase in value – unlike loose packs.

Example: A current Japanese booster display like Crimson Haze costs around €72.99 at cardcosmos, or about €2.50 per pack – significantly cheaper than many individual offers.

In addition to saving money, a complete display also saves your nerves: You don't have to spend a long time searching for the right individual packs; you get all the cards in a series with just one click. That's why collectors regularly find affordable box deals at cardcosmos, such as "Buy It as a Set and Save" bundles.
