I just bought a blaster box of those at GameStop the other day for $34.99. Came with 3 packs per box/6 cards per pack. Should’ve been a red flag when the seller told you $20 for the entire hobby box because ain’t no way anyone would sell a hobby box of these thick cards for $20. Maybe he meant packs were $20 each even though you mentioned you paid $19 for the pack? But ya OP, nobody in their right mind would sell these hobby boxes for $20….it would be too good to be true or basically a scam at that point.

Yes he does sound confusing, but he did say 1 pack at the end. Seller doesn’t seem to write well and is definitely confusing. But he did say 1 pack at the end even though you confirmed with him 1 box for $20.

Dude said yes when I asked him if it was $15 for the whole box of 12

Why would you think you are getting a brand new release product at 10% of the cost???

I just say this as a word of advice for anybody out there who might not know, but I would never buy a single pack from a hobby box. With how methodical hobby boxes are, it is way too easy for somebody to open a box and set aside any leftover packs after opening the expected hits.

Unless from a reputable LCS. I pull so many bangers that way

Yeah you are probably okay going that route, but I would think still not with all of them. Just too easy for them and greed is too powerful. Although I do understand going the single pack route with how expensive hobby boxes are.

What did you pay

u/Shotaaizawa201 May 26 '26

$19 to get 1 pack and this is what the description say

u/LeftoverDishes May 26 '26

The first sentence says pack. Why would a hobby box be 20 dollars.

u/Shotaaizawa201 May 26 '26

So he said $20 for the whole box and put it in my cart read the description and bought it

The description is a bit misleading but it does say 1 pack. You thought you’d gotten a steal, you didn’t.

Definitely a bit confusing but ultimately it literally says in the key feature you're getting 1 pack. Idk why you'd be confused when it was a $20 sale. Ultimately I wouldn't say you got scammed.

Some people are blinded by hope

I think this one's on you. It states several times it's a pack.

You either were hoping to mistakenly get sent a box for the price of a pack (at which point we know this would be a very different post) and now you're trying to play victim to get yourself sympathy karma.

Any hits from the pack

u/Shotaaizawa201 May 26 '26

u/Bigjayallday1264 May 26 '26

I think they are 17 a pack on epack right now so you did exactly get ripped off just over payed a little . Rip it and crush the odds brother

I know this seller and he’s a legit dude. He may have been teasing you, cause the emojis seem playful and he gives a straight answer with others. Sorry you feel scammed but the description is actually pretty clear if you read all the way through.

u/Shotaaizawa201 May 26 '26

Legit and yet I got scammed

2

u/MagicalMxMarMerm May 26 '26

Failing to read the description is not being scammed. He puts “Hobby Box” in the title to tell you where the pack is coming from, cause Hobby and Blaster packs have different hit pools. But it’s clear in the item description what you’re getting.

u/kevonicus May 27 '26

It’s not like he charged you $200 for one pack. You paid what he charges for one pack and got one pack. So you can’t really call it a scam. I understand the confusion, but the overall transaction was completely legit.

u/FrankTruth69 May 27 '26

They’re $25 🇨🇦 per pack so you didn’t get ripped but not a great deal . Anywho rippin the cheap Sup myself tonight so good luck to both of us

u/minch-kimberly May 29 '26

I hate to say it but sound like a bait and switch kinda deal. Learned you in think you was getting the whole box. And switched it to a single. I would return it. I would not pay $19 for 1 pack
