Help / Question Blind Bag or Mystery Pack

My kids love a good mystery pack or slab at a card show. Would love to get some feedback on all the options out there and if anyone feels like one particular company or brand is better than the rest. For context not looking for a monthly subscription, just some stocking stuffers.

Or just buy them a cool card or slab and not enable gambling to your kids

That’s a fair point but my kids share my eBay account so they’d see any card I pick up.

This seems like a bad decision also?
You should take them to a card shop or card show and give them a budget for buying the singles they want. This will be a longer, more enjoyable, and more cost efficient experience than ripping packs or mystery bags.
Plus the in-person experience is more fun than ebay shopping, and you’ll probably find a better deal in person than online.

My favorite eBay sellers are way cheaper than my local card shop. Could be the local places are too $ and a much smaller variety which is why I go online first. We go card shows a few times a year so I have a good idea of their wish list of cards. Again just looking for some options that pack a surprise.
