Is opening FireRed & LeafGreen packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average FireRed & LeafGreen pack are worth about $107.82 (€71.61), and a sealed pack costs about $1,013.30 (TCGplayer market).

Every card counts at its market price here, including bulk that is hard to sell, so what you would really get is lower.
