Buy it outright. Blastoise-holo is $5,613 on the marketplace. Its best pack route is the Diamond Pack at $1,000, where it sits in the $4,000-$6,500 band — that band hits 5.00% of the time and we count 22 cards in it, so this one slab is at most a 0.227% pull. That works out to 440 packs, or about $440,000, to land this specific card — and that is the optimistic end, because the real pool is larger than the 22 cards we can see. Packs are the wrong tool for a named card.
| Tier | Ticket | Band | Band odds | Expected spend for this card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond Pack | $1,000 | the $4,000-$6,500 band | 5.00% | $440,000+ |
| Sapphire Pack | $2,500 | the $5,000-$10,000 band | 8.00% | $843,750+ |
Per-card chance = band probability / cards counted in that band's pool. Our pool data is a sample, so the per-card chance is an upper bound and the expected spend is a lower bound.
