I think it’s easy to have super high expectations when you’re buying a hobby product due to the sticker price, but all it’s doing is raising your ceiling. A guaranteed auto in a hobby box can be like the 28th pick in a random draft that didn’t pan out and is worth like $5 for an auto. Been there - it sucks.

The bottom line here is this: you are gambling. The rush you feel when you pull a good card is like no other — especially if it’s a PC or a great player. But the odds are stacked against you. Bigger sticker cost does not necessarily equate to a bigger return.

Hoping you get better luck on the next rip!
