Questions
How does Wildcard rate sealed boxes?
Every box is scored on expected value: the estimated market value of the cards inside (from odds sheets and recent sold comps) versus the street price. Above ~100% is a genuine rip, near 100% is a coin flip, below means you're better off buying the single you want. Vintage product that's worth more sealed than opened is flagged "hold."
