From insane reprints to gorgeous new art, we’re calling out the highlights, talking value, and letting you know which drops are headed straight into our decks.

💡 What’s a Break Point (BP)?
BP = How many you need to buy to get one free based on resale value.
Buy smart... maybe even flip one to pay for the rest!

💡 What is Break Point (BP)?

Break Point (BP) helps determine how many drops you need to buy to get one essentially free — because let’s be honest, we all want one for the collection!

How it works:
1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil and Non-Foil values.
2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and drop cost to find Net Profit.
3️⃣ Divide total profit by the cost of one drop to get your BP.

🔍 Example:
If a drop costs $40 and has a Net Profit of $80, buying 2 covers the cost of one. (BP 2)
If Net Profit is $55, you’d need 4 drops to break even. (BP 4)

💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip after shipping but tend to recover or even rise 10–16 months later — patience can pay off!
