You can buy up to 10 nice, playable rares (no tournament powerhouses, mind you) for a single event ticket or around 30 good commons/uncommons. So what should you do if you need cards to grow your collection, then? You should sell the boosters for between 3 and 4 event tickets and use those tix to buy specific cards you need and like. Do not fall for fantastic stories from players about how they always open great stuff and that the difference is marginal it is not. In 95% of the cases, the singles in the booster pack are worth LESS than what you had to pay for it.
As soon as you open that booster pack, you lose this virtual value and rely on the singles within the booster to recoup the cost.
They are like entry tickets, in addition to the event tickets you need to participate. The fact that you need sealed product to participate in these online tournaments makes boosters inherently more valuable than they would be if you could only rip them open for cards. In contrast to constructed tournaments, in which every player brings his or her own deck with 60 or more cards he has chosen in advance, limited tournaments are played with sealed boosters that are opened during the tournament and then either drafted or used to build a 40+ card deck (depending on the exact format played). This is one of the most costly but also most easy-to-make mistakes for anyone who just started out and is looking to grow his card collection - cracking boosters is fun, and that’s what they are meant for after all, right? Wrong! To understand why this is a major blunder that will cost you a lot of money, we need to talk a little bit about so-called MTGO limited tournaments and how booster packs are used in those.
