archie17 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I was wondering if its economically better to just buy a brand new sealed booster BOX. Will that ensure at least 1 complete set or is it just better to buy from some one who has an already complete set established for sale? I'm not really into all those Holo's, Super Rares, yada, yada, yada, as long as I have atleast 1 of every card that exist in that specific set. That would be my goal. Some insight would be much appreciated on how I should go about my completist attempt at collecting yugioh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiepromking Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Just buy the full set. Buying a booster box will get you an ass-load of duplicates and is definitely not a guaranteed full set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 There is no way to get a full set by purchasing packs or boxes reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you're lucky, then yes. But most of the time, no. Just buy them from a dealer or someone that's reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth_The_Legend Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 nope. actually written on the pack that the odds are set to change and etc....nothing is a guarantee when it comes to YGO...cept CED never coming off the BanList.. E-bay and other online stores are much much easier and quicker...unless you want mass amounts of doubles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmNateXero Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Completed sets are really hard to come across. You will never get a set from buying a single box. Also, buying completed sets from ebay is rare. You may be able to buy all of the sets Rares and commons, but people love selling the money cards (IE the super rares and higher.)

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I can just short of guarantee you never will. (Just short because there may be a ridiculous packaging error.) To make this as short as possible, there's only 1 Secret Rare per box. (Odds may be lower, I don't recall.) The Duelist Genesis had 8 Secret Rares. You can try to buy 8 boxes, but... you'll just end up with a ridiculously high amount of useless commons, and you're not guaranteed any specific card when you buy it, not to mention something like that would cost about 500 American dollars, if you bought the booster boxes separately. Your best bet would be to buy one box to get all the commons and rares, then going for individual holos off eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get evey common, and you'll get every rare unless youre unlucky. Secret's are best traded/bought off of ebay. become a smart trader and a smart buyer, it's not thathard to collect yu-gi-oh.

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 You can only have any real chance to get complete Sets in Booster Boxes for unconventional sets like Duelist Packs, Premium Packs, and various promotional packs like movie packs. You'll get your best value just buying the single cards you need the most tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboss144 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 No, it's (totally) impossible. There are only 24 booster packs in any given booster box. At most you are only going to get 1 super-rare or higher in a pack (excluding packaging errors, which usually result in duplicates anyway). In any given set there will be about 10 super rares, 10 ultra rares, and 7-8 secret rares. 10+10+8=28. 28>24. So it would (theoretically) be possible to get an entire set in one booster box if each box contained 28 packs but unfortunately they do not...sorry. The above scenario is possible if you are the luckiest yugioh player on the face of the earth and Konami makes the worst packaging error ever by putting 28 boosters in 1 box, with each booster containing a different holo card and a corresponding rare different from all the rest... In short, buy the full set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 1 case = 12 boxes. Even then, it's still not a guarantee since some of the boxes may have the same secret rares. Also, it's about 500+ dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 12 cases = 144 boxes. <_< ... Hope the card you're looking for wasn't a short print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaos Pudding Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you're only looking to get 1 of every card, it is almost always more cost effective to get singles instead of a box. Although, you could probably get away with buying a box, seeing what you didn't pull, and then get singles of the rest. You might get lucky and pull the money cards, and not worry about having to pay as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
