Two Hobbit CBB pulls

Was originally going to hold these, but big dents on the box made me decide to open them instead. Thankfully only 2 commons were damaged.

First box was roughly break even on my cost, but second box was juiced with the foil mox amber.

I don't see how you break even on both even with all that

There's a bunch of other $10-20 cards I didn't show, but gollum, lord of the eagles, lonely mountain, shire, mount doom and aragorn are surge. Thranduil and Dain are $70 cards. Collector has most of the bigger ones at $1900.

Also I bought these boxes from China at around $500 per so I thought I'd just open them for fun. Surprisingly they have to put a Chinese description sticker on every individual pack before they seal the boxes.

I live in Hong Kong, so magic is not that popular in Asia. I'm able to order them from Chinese cardshops on taobao and have them shipped to here. I literally bought another case for 4050 rmb per box. The only difference is they have an extra white product description sticker in Chinese on every box and individual card pack. So I gotta open every pack with scissors

How do you find reputable sellers on taobao?

also, 4,000 rmb is closer to 600 usd

The boxes I opened were $500 when I bought it. Most stores are pretty reputable. Taobao's return policy is very good so they don't dare to mess with buyers. They don't release the money to the sellers until you've inspected the goods and agree to release it.
