This was my first time doing E-pack. It'll probably be the last time too at least for a while. I've definitely had some good runs. Some bad ones too. Overall it's been a blast. I'm ahead; tough to say how far..
I'll say this, there is no way on earth I could see myself buying a hobby box after this is over with. $200-300 to get a green crackle? Those boxes would have to fall to $100 for me to even think about it.

Have you been buying by the pack, box, or case? I know this last run was packs Seems you opened a lot-just seeing what’s the better option in your opinion

I've been doing single packs. It slows me down which I need. I've spent over 20k at this point.
Also, my view on it is that if you buy boxes then you are guaranteeing that you will have several packs in the box that are trash. 1 at a time eliminates that being a certainty. I still go 10+ packs at a time one by one with no big hit, so it's still possible to get 10+ packs in a row of trash, but no one is getting a box with 5 ambers and 5 golds.

There are definitely ePack products that work better buying by the pack and others that you want the guaranteed box hits. The cost of Platinum packs are a bit high though. The $20 retail blasters were a fun break at a slightly lower price for the two weeks or so they were available.

Yup. Just the one. Sketches are super tough. I'd guess there are multiples more 1/1's than sketches.

Here's an example of pretty much breaking even..last pack. Bought 15 before it. Hit red lights on the first 4 packs. Nothing special. A Nick Fury PP CV, Sentry Green crackle etc. Then a buttfukathon for 10 packs with a few with not a single #ed card. Then this= I'm touching grass for the rest of the day.

My first major Black Panther hit though and yet another Jean.
Got another venom red prism, some lower autos etc, but these 2 are the meat.

You are a madman. Have you been buying Flair at all? I think you'd really enjoy that set.

I'm super obsessed with this set..I get that way.
Star Wars 206 was like this and it didn't translate to other SW, so I'm thinking this will probably work out the same way.
Marvel Platinum or nothing, baby!!!

Way too many packs. Either the hits are less frequent or I've used up all of my luck.
Still love this set to death, but I've been reamed.
Staying off the site for a few weeks.

I’d say that was a decent buttfukathon with plenty of buttfukkery thrown in the mix, classic.

Are you selling off cards as you go or are you super-collecting this set?

Do you have a goal in mind or a milestone you are after?
