I’ve been into them for years, and I’ve seen both sides. Some people treat it like investing in stocks, but honestly, I think it’s more about the fun.
For me, card breaks have been a cool way to stay in the hobby without spending a fortune on full boxes. It’s like splitting the cost with a bunch of people and hoping you get lucky with a nice pull. Sure, I’ve had moments where I thought, “Man, that was a waste,” but other times, I’ve hit some solid cards that made it all worth it.
