Return to Ravnica Booster Boxes?
Economics forum

Do you think it would be a good idea to put $550 into 6 boxes of Return to Ravnica? I would be hoping to sell them for around $1500 total when the time is right (at $250 or so per box). Do you think the boxes will ever get that high? Will MTG stop before it gets to the point of being valuable enough to sell? Are there better sets to buy (I thought with shock lands they would be attractive)?
I assume it would settle around where the Innistrad box did, which is at 200$ a pop.
Whether or not the price is lower or higher depending on its contents, I don't know. Depends on what people value the chances of Shocklands over the chances of Snapcaster Mage and Liliana of the Veil .

I 2nd what GoldGhost012 said. If you can sit on em for a few years then you'd probably make out good on them but that's if you can resist that temptation... I know I'd cave and probly open one... which would lead to the other 5 being opened.

I don't think I could resist the opening. But I'm pretty confident that this would pay off, at least minorly, possibly majorly, after a bit. Go for it. I've honestly been thinking about putting some of my tax returns toward a similar venture. But as I mentioned. I'd open 'em. Need more willpower to resist the cardboard crack.

In the time it would take a RTR box to reach $250, you could have flipped a $550 investment several times over. Buying into sealed product is really only good when you know it's going to be a really rare commodity down the line.
You'd get better returns faster by using that same amount elsewhere.

That's going to be a long time from now. Like probably 4+ years. If you can resist opening booster boxes for that long, especially in a fun set like RtR, the I commend you.
