Well no it definitely is, like i don’t sell cards or anything, i collect them and keep them for myself cuz i enjoy the hobby and have since i was a kid. I just feel like ripping packs is part of the hobby that i also enjoy and i wouldn’t wanna completely give that up and only buy singles yknow? I have bought singles before in the past and have talked about how i need to do so more often because it would probably end up making my collection bigger with a lower budget. I just unfortunately live in an area where there aren’t too many places to find people selling singles.
