      i would love to see this become a reality. Yes those holding packs would generate more value but these crds should be opened and displayed. Also it will reduce the number of chances for people to make fakes as the market cap dwindles and people become less willing to buy

    Well, must admit the geek as I am, this was actually an important opening! A few years ago, I made replica Alpha print sheets with the help of data gathered by The Collation Project and watching every single Alpha product opening video I could find. In the end I had to make a best guess for the artwork of one of the mountains on the uncommon sheet (I never found an opening covering that area of the sheet), this opening finally confirmed I guessed correctly 😂 Also, for what it’s worth, there are three island rares in Alpha on the rare sheet, the one you opened is the one that is replaced in Beta with Volcanic Island. The version of the art was unknown for many years until a Beta starter with Alpha rares was opened maybe two years ago - I believe this is the first time it’s been seen from an Alpha pack!

    This is why I think there shouldn’t be a single box left unopened. I get that having an unopened box is a finite thing and there’ll be a point where there’ll be only a handful left, making them even rarer, BUT if those boxes aren’t cracked, then what if the last 5 “unopened” alpha starter decks in the world are actually filled with fucking Wyvern cards and Italian magic cards. There’s NO guarantee anymore that you have what you think you have until you open it

    • @Alfred5555
      @Alfred5555 2 месяца назад

      The only reason not to open them, is to artificially inflate the market, and create a fraudulent market where scams are possible. It's like diamonds and watches, literally worthless, but people think they're rare so they've got inflated market value from artificial scarcity. The unopened packs should organically increase in value as they're naturally opened over time, to purposely hold them unopened because of their value is purely a weird capitalist thing, and it births all these scams and frauds, etc.

    • @Jesse-lv2yo
      @Jesse-lv2yo 2 месяца назад +1
