Best place to buy a full set
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2018 4:47 am
Hi, I am thinking I might just buy a few sets of more recent MtG sets. Looking for recommendations of where to get them.
Last time I did this was around Torment and I picked up some complete sets from eBay at what I figured was a decent price at the time, they were auctions so I obviously spent more money than anyone else wanted to spend.
Now that I am looking at playing again and have gotten into Commander it is good to know that I already own several of the good cards and I only need one of each.
Given the opportunity I would love to buy boxes and then just crack them but while I can smuggle some cards into the house unnoticed I know I will get caught if I start spreading out too much and ripping boosters.
I am thinking it is worth buying a set of just the commons and uncommons and just picking up the rares as they rotate out?
Do they usually come with lands and tokens as part of the sets?
They are pretty expensive to get locally in Australia, about four times the cost of getting them from the states, but the eBay postage is about twice the cost of the cards. I am guessing they have more supply in the states :)
I have looked at Magic Card Market and it is also pricey.
Is it worth it to get the Factory sealed sets or do you pay too much of a premium for those? They look pretty decent and the cards should be nice and mint.
