I recently went on a bit of a spending spree and have a box each of Reflections and Black Rider (with 36 packs of Return of the King in the mail), so I've decided to open a pack a day and post the contents here. I'll be starting tomorrow with a pack from Black Rider and keep doing this until I get bored with it. Anyone else is welcome to join in! |

This sounds like an amazing way to budget card-buying. Buy a box, and then you can buy another one once you've opened all the packs. Me likes!

This mouth wasn't a foil, but yes, 1 foil per 7 packs (which is what the pack lists as approximate frequency) means that I should have found 2.28 foils so far, and I've found 3, so that is a little more frequent than normal.
Of the foils, 1 (Balrog) is masterworks and the other two (Gandalf, Witch-King) are RF. I haven't found stats for how many of the foils should come up as masterworks.

There should just be one per booster box, I think the average is 6 foils per box. The Balrog is a cool card too congrats! |

lol from Shadows upward the only foils are rares. They will be the RF sets. From sets 10 and under they are all foiled, common and uncommon too. |

How you are able to control your self is beyond me. Nothing can beat the sense of excitement opening a boosterbox. Especially when you are opening one with a dissapointing rare. Sometimes at GCCG I blow like 400 dollars just for the kick of opening fake boosters, lol

It's been a challenge lately, but it was inspired by opening several TT booster boxes in a row (I'd found them for $20 each at Walmart, circa 2006) By half-way through the second box, all I was looking at was the rare. This way I actually consider the commons.
I'm questioning if I will have the same patience when I get a box of reflections.
