Cello box = 36 red white blue prizm, 12 silver prizm, 12 green prizm, 24 RCs, 180 total cards

Is there something I'm missing? Both are just retail... have ultra low chance of autos or other case hit type stuff. The silvers are main value.

...I do think mega box and cello for Prizm football are more comparable some years... but 2024 mega box pink prizms are terrible. Red white blue is fairly good and a color match for many NFL teams. Jmo.
Cello are not a good value in box form. Check Mega vs Cello prices for say 2020 Prizm. 3 Megas will fetch more than a Cello.

The breakdowns are probably pretty similar if you were to bust. I know I'm getting 1 RC Silver and 1 RC Mega exclusive (Pink or Green Pulsar and whatever the "Hobby" Mega color is this year). The Silvers in Cello may not run accordingly. How many RC Silvers are you pulling from your Cello box? You'd need to pull at least 3 to be even with the Megas. You also have much higher auto hit rate in Mega (I'm not even sure you can pull autos in the Cello packs, if so I believe they would be Silvers, check the packs and LMK on this one, I threw away my wrappers.)

TL;DR if you plan on selling in box form you shouldn't be buying Cello, busting they have similar yields and I'd still prefer Megas.
