But the 1st Edition boxes are somewhat morphous, with one on Collectors Cache going for 14k; one box selling for 10k in June; and a box that was listed on TCA Gaming for nigh-8k several months ago. So my question is what exactly is the outright price for the box?
Not really. Those individual pack prices you see on eBay and whatnot, are typically going to be “light” weighed packs even if not advertised as so, and many buyers know this going on. To get a completely sealed box of 36 packs, has quite a price premium per pack versus just counting 36x the price of a single loose pack.
I have to correct myself, I thought the title was genesis. So I would adjust my prices to the high end of 17k due to availablity. I’d be curious of the amount of Neo 1st edition boxes that got printed because it appears pretty low with the correlation of availability.
I think people are def on the genesis train by now. There are so many popular cards, maybe more so than base and gym challenge. Plus, the difficulty of attaining 10s on some of the cards will propel the box prices higher in my opinion. I don’t think the box population will have much effect on future growth.
