Got my hand on the CN Secret Garden Box! Product feels super premium 😍

Overnumbered poros got bought out (and is now roughly $200 each) and I have come to the conclusion that I will never own them 🥹

Alright, exciting news (not really). Took my first foray into buying on TCG player and I bought what I felt was a really undervalued Near Mint Riftbound Signature at $240. I am just getting my feet wet before any real degeneracy begins. The best part is that I am buying from a completely new seller that has 0 feedback. How bad can it get? 😂 Anyway, my reasoning is this basically: There are probably, on average, 200,000 - 300,000 cases per set. Let’s just say 200,000 for now. Which would mean 1,200,000 boxes total per set. Assuming everything is evenly distributed or close to it, and assuming it takes on average 30 boxes to hit a signature card, that means the population of each signature in a set is 1,200,000 divided by 30 = 40,000 total signatures, divided by 12 = 3333 supply per signature in the set. Assuming the odds of hitting a signature is 1 out of 30 boxes, that means that, on average, roughly $3600 of MSRP value in sealed product was taken off the market forever in order to produce this signature. While this legend is not as coveted as the other League of Legends characters, I think the downside risk is super small relative to the potential upside when this card is finally out of print. I am praying that this card is in excellent condition by the time I decide to try and ship it to PSA. I think the League of Legends IP is here to stay and Riot Games is just way too good at making games, so I am feeling great about this purchase. So far in my collection: Few sealed boxes of every set, 48 Nexus Night Origins packs (broken seal but has all original packs), and now an Ivern signature whenever it finally arrives 😂.
