To open, or not to open...

So at a 2nd & Charles today, I found a Rise of the Vampires intro pack for $5. I love vampires, so I picked it up. Turns out it still has the sealed Zendikar booster pack. I've seen them going for around $20 online, so I'm considering selling it, but I kind of want to open it... What do you guys think?

No guarantee you will get anything good, but you can guarantee that $20, as Goody said.

Wow, that was a lucky find. I agree, its probably better to sell it if you're just looking for value, but it can also be a fun pack to open if you just want to crack a random booster.

Well, you can either be really lucky, and get a Goblin Guide, or you could sell it and buy a Goblin Guide...

Or you can get REALLY lucky and get a Scalding Tarn and sell it to get 2 Goblin Guides and some change.

Try to name a number between 1-6. Roll a dice. Did you name the correct number? If yes, then open. If not, then don't :D

Flip a coin. Heads for opening, tails for selling. Toss a coin. When the coin is in the air, at this point most of the people are wishing for certain result (heads or tails) and that's what you should do :) Or just do what the coin tells you to do :D

And of course, there is the "what if" factor. Meaning, if you sell it, you will wonder for some time about "what if I opened it and got x or y card feom it". That said, it is only 20$. You are not losing that much money, you are just not gaining it either. I would open it.

Do you want profit or an experience? To me, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to crack that pack with such a lucky find. There is always that chance of a foil Scalding Tarn, after all.

I did it! Foil Scalding Tarn!!!!! Nah jk. It was Electropotence. But it was my only pack of Zendikar ever, so it was fun! And it was only $5 so I'm ok with that! Thanks for the input guys!

I really miss Zendikar block, those were some good times...

I like opening it if you haven't ever opened a zendikar pack before. Has some personal value if you think about it.
