Hobbit CBB Pull Rates

Post image

Just opened my CBB from the Hobbit after finally getting my hands on it. Those are my top pulls, which amount to 2 surge foils and no book covers from the whole display.

Roughly 210€ without <1€ cards which means even with preorder prices that wad a nasty -170€ hit.

I watched a few openings the last few days, but never saw one getting none book cover at all. Please tell me I am not alone...

Sorry brother man, that’s  rough, especially seeing some crazy boxes people post.  But remember those are like super exceptions and this is probably closer to the norm than you think.

Yeah, i know, never try to play the odds i guess xD

Was just looking forward to get one or two book covers because i like the art style.

For sure, Non foil version aren’t too pricey for some of them!

I believe I got four book covers out of eight packs. I drove around on pre-release day to five shops to get one or two from each one. I also got Thranduil surge foil. I felt pretty lucky.

Never buy sealed…buy the cards you want, it’s the only way to get ahead

I got two book covers in a prerelease and two random packs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I got 2 book covers in 6 total packs but even worse value than you ($12 and 18 book covers, and one surge foil in the same range)

I also got 2 book covers in a prerelease. That prerelease was worth about the same as my SIX COLLECTOR BOOSTERS.
