I have a local shop that is offering me the following:
5x TT Booster Boxes @ $16 ea.
8x BOHD Booster Boxes @ $13 ea.
I have the majority of the non-foils already, I’m mainly looking for foils (which seems hard to come by on ebay).
Do you think it’s worth it? What are your thoughts?  |

| Two Towers seems like a really good price seeing that ebay has them at buy it now for around $26 each. I would also guess the BoHD is a fair price, but I NEVER bought a booster box of that set. Hope this helps some. |

The prices are a steal, especially since you don’t have to pay S&H. I reckon you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal online.
But BoHD is a horrible set... 8 boxes, wow!  Maybe get a box from a later set for trade fodder, or buy singles outright? You could end up getting more bang for your buck. Are you missing most of the foils? |

Ya I’m trying to complete my foils.
He also has a SG booster box for $50 but I think it’s a better value to buy the foil set for $99. |

Geez according to the prices at Rendezvous (even after the 50% off) I made a killing on my 14 SOG Rares foils. I paid 18.50 for those 14 and after the 50% off they still would cost me $116 from that site. Glad I didn’t get my wish and get outbid  . But anyway is The Witch-King, Black Captain (Foil) really worth $20 (after the 50% off) and Shelob, Eater of Light worth $15 (after the 50% off). Not to mention are they really worth that much if not for the discount? If anyone wants to buy my WC, Black Captain for $40 I will let him go  . Anyway sorry for interrupting your thread H_P but those 14 Rares SOG foils are for trade and I won’t except $40 worth of cards for the WC and $30 worth of stuff for the Shelob , that is just a bit insane IMO. |

I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about CCG Obsession. Yeah, probably the cheapest is to trade for them or hunt around on eBay. Gandalf’s Cart has a smaller selection but you can scoop them up really cheap.
Still, I’m comparing these to spending $104 on BoHD booster boxes. How many foils can you expect from 8 boxes? I’m guessing not enough for a complete foil set, and $104 is IMO already more than the set is really worth. So if you ARE willing to spend that amount, you could possibly get a better deal by buying singles outright.
And I gotta agree; the prices of rare foils especially in these stores tend to be way out there. H13 might sell them for cheaper. |

Quote: These places carry foils:
Cardhaus Games
CCG Obsession
Gandalf’s Cart
The Rendezvous Point (50% off)
I check them frequently, especially cardhaus.
Booster Breakdown: 6 foils per box (average)
Two Towers: I need 283 foils (I also need 29 non-foils)
$80 for 5 Boxes = 30 foils (+ chance of a foil ring)
Helms Deep: I need 101 foils (My non-foil set is complete)
$104 for 8 boxes = 48 foils
Siege of Gondor: I need 110 foils (I also need 29 non-foils)
$50 for 1 box = 6 foils (vs. a complete foils set on Ebay for $99)
Alternatively I can trade for foils and/or buy them from the vendors above.
So what would be wise to say yes or no to given my options?
I can pretty much figure it out, I just wanted to get opinions. |
