Title: Which set?
Post by: Birdbrain on December 25, 2012, 03:44:40 PM
Have a bunch of money in gift cards and want to by a box of boosters. Which set should I buy? Which set has the most Johnny-ish cards?

Well idk about best for your needs, but i like darksteel, mirrodin and scars of mirrodin just because they have my favorite cards. The cheapest set I like is probably Innistrad. The best set for Johnny cards? Unglued/Unhinged!

I just got an Innistrad box for $98 online.  I think RTR is similar, but I'm not positive.

RtR is just over $100 i think, Innistrad is $98... If my memory is right, i THINK RtR was quoted at $106 at my LGS, but my memory is shakey at best.

You can only get them online? You can't get them in vintage stock, or meta games, or Walmart?

You can get them out of game stores and stuff, mine was just ordered online.  Places like Walmart, target, etc don't have boxes, though.  And I don't really know why mine was $98.  They usually are $106-$107

So buy online...got it...how much is...I think it's either called shadowmeir or eventide or something. Are those worth it to buy?

It seems like they have about 40 billion money cards in them.  I would imagine they are pretty expensive.  The boxes seem to go up in price pretty quickly (i.e. Rise of the Eldrazi is a dollar or two more per pack)

I actually don't think you can get P3K boxes, they're that rare!
