Is opening Lost Thunder packs worth it?
At today’s prices the cards in an average Lost Thunder pack are worth about $15.75 (€12.24), and a sealed pack costs about $56.33 (TCGplayer market). Sealed packs of a set this old sell as collectibles, so what the cards inside are worth says little about opening one. Every card counts at its market price here, including bulk that is hard to sell, so what you would really get is lower.
