Questions and answers
- Which box gives more cards for the money?
- The Mega Box. At $39.99 for 60 cards it works out to about $0.67 per card, well below the Blaster's per-card cost at $30.99.
- Does the Blaster have the same parallels as the Mega Box?
- No. Red Ice, Red Scope #/88, Green Scope #/8 and Red Seismic #/225 are Mega Box exclusives. The Blaster pulls from the retail parallel pool instead.
- Is the Mega Box worth the extra $9?
- If you want volume and the Mega-exclusive parallels, yes. If you only want a cheap rip of the base set, the Blaster covers that at $30.99.
- Are autographs guaranteed in either box?
- No. Autographs are randomly inserted in both. The Mega Box has more packs, so more chances per box.
- Which is better for a set builder?
- The Mega Box, because 60 cards and 6 inserts per box move a base set along faster than a Blaster.
- Which is better for a gift?
- The Mega Box gives a longer rip and more hits to open. The Blaster is the lower-cost option at $30.99.
