Buy it outright. Mickey Mantle is $1,620 on the marketplace. Its best pack route is the Legendary Pack at $500, where it sits in the $1,500-$4,000 band — that band hits 7.00% of the time and we count 6 cards in it, so this one slab is at most a 1.167% pull. That works out to 86 packs, or about $42,857, to land this specific card — and that is the optimistic end, because the real pool is larger than the 6 cards we can see. Packs are the wrong tool for a named card.

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.
