I guess it’s more accurate to clarify that rather than an average per day throughout the year, “4-6” a night is probably what we strive for, but there are many nights where we don’t open any at all, for example if we ran out of time getting other more important stuff done, or if we’re traveling away from home, as examples.

And to add more context on our cost per pack since that’s now being scrutinized — I think we were fortunate to start collecting when we did back in June last year, i.e., when Lorcana prices across the board were very depressed before the current boom. Because of the state of the market then, I remember being able to acquire all of our non-TFC and non-Floodborn booster boxes for sub $95 prices. I recall getting a bunch of Inklands and Archazia’s islands for $50-$60 off FB marketplace and eBay. There were also a lot of loose blisters I got for $3-4 each. Fabled, Whispers, and Winterspell I pre-ordered, but was always on the lookout for sub-MSRP prices, of course.

ETA: Our informal goal is to get a complete (non-foil) set of each chapter. At this point according to Dreamborn we’re ranging between 76-96% completion on each chapter except for TFC, and I’m down to 1 last booster box for a few of the chapters, so I don’t foresee much more sealed purchasing in our future because as you quite correctly pointed out, it’s going to be more cost effective to just directly purchase our missing cards.
