It really depends on your goal of collecting. If it's for the fun of it, go for it. But if you're chasing value, it can be a serious hit to the wallet to buy boxes

It’s absolutely a trap. You start with “just for fun” and six months later you’re checking eBay comps like it’s your second job 😂

Addictive trap. They use tactics similar to carnivals & casinos. If you’re going to do it, you have to be disciplined and collect only certain things and stick to it. Stick to mostly finding particular sets and individual cards on eBay, and avoid retail packs as much as possible.
