Shopee Store MTG Booster Purchase
I have been checking for Magic: the Gathering online shops that has placed an account on the Shopee platform and there were a few that are selling not only on MTG but also other trading card game products. These are basically collectible online sellers.
I have found one recently that sells Ravnica Allegiance booster packs for only P160 each, P20 less than the retail price of P180. My goal was to open at least one shockland as their prices recently has gone up maybe because of the demand in the Pioneer format.
I waited for my vouchers to refresh as new ones are added monthly so that I could get a discount on the shipping fee which usually rates at P100 to P150 each transaction. I decided to buy 4 booster packs to increase my chances. The total amount was P640 plus the discounted shipping cost of P40. I arrived almost a week later because maybe of high quantity of purchases for the Christmas rush.
I decided to do a booster cracking video that night but I got impatient so I just opened one pack and was lucky to open a Breeding Pool shockland. It is probably the highest value in all the five shockland cycle in the set. That is basically main goal achieved.
The remaining three Ravnica Allegiance booster packs were opened on a later date and here below is the video.
It was a good I opened that shockland before these three Rares showed up as they were way below their booster pack worth. Anyhow, overall value is still above the cost so it was pretty much a positive result. I just needed to dispose of this card while at the high price (20 usd as of this posting).
That is a wrap for this post. Until next time.
