Thoughts on eBay Mystery Pack Listings

When I first got into the hobby I bought a mystery pack to try it out, and didn’t really know what to buy. “Guaranteed PSA 10” was a selling point with a photo of some high end card in the listing.

The cards came and it was filled with random bulk and a PSA 10 common Larvitar in PSA 10. A card at the time that cost $1 in mint condition.

Was worth doing once to realize that mystery packs are a waste of money and you will always be better off just buying things where you know what you’re gonna get.

The only “mystery” listing I would ever participate in is the efour secret santa, where members really put in the effort to tailor a mystery gift for you :relieved:
