Buy it outright. Shining Kabutops is $2,250 on the marketplace. Its best pack route is the Sapphire Pack at $2,500, where it sits in the $2,000-$2,500 band — that band hits 20.00% of the time and we count 21 cards in it, so this one slab is at most a 0.952% pull. That works out to 105 packs, or about $262,500, to land this specific card — and that is the optimistic end, because the real pool is larger than the 21 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 $2,000-$4,000 band | 8.00% | $375,000+ |
| Sapphire Pack | $2,500 | the $2,000-$2,500 band | 20.00% | $262,500+ |
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.
