Originally posted by matthewevan was thinking about this again last night.. i know people paid near 200 for a box of leaf international..myself included. there were only a few cards that you could pull that made the box worth that..and if you hit a khalidov np /60 and some no name red autos..you could lose 190 of your 200..i know 200 and 800 are very different, but sometimes it is about the gamble and the chase.. maybe the guy pulls the cain VD red 1/1 and then his investment was a wise one..who knows?

value of the box - maybe $300

i truly dont understand why anyone owuld spend that much cash on a box - hell even $600 - most of the cards u can pull froma box at those prices u can just outright buy for less - if ur in the market fora  red gsp or spider just add a little to that price tag and just buy it

u could literally open a whole case and not pull a major $1k hit - maybe its b/c i only collect a  few MMA cards i dont get it but ive seen people spend BIG money on rare baseball packs, and when they bust them they always end up getting burned b/c the cards they pull are worth much less than what they spent - i dunno, id just much rather buy the cards i want then to try to pull that mega hit from a box

Yea, but at $850 you pull a decent Red auto and a 1/1 card and still not brake even.  That's crazy. 

That's pretty steep, but those boxes are getting rarer and rarer.
