I agree with this. Just like when you buy a pack of cards for any sport, You are never guaranteed (at least not with any pack or box I've purchased in the past) that the value of the contents will ever exceed the amount paid for the pack originally. It's a gamble that rewards those collectors willing to take a possible risk at losing money when purchasing. Sorry to say at the moment there are alot of people who are buying up boxes and packs of cards in order to resell at a higher price because the value of sports cards has risen significantly so normal collectors that have faithfully bought packs, boxes, and cases are having to pay out the rear end and yet there still is a pretty similar non-guarantee of making any money back with the contents meaning you have even more of a gap between money spent and potential money gained in value.
