Believing a third-party "guaranteed chase" claim

If odds are not published by the licensor, nobody selling the box can guarantee a chase.

Buying mystery card lots above sealed price

A sealed pack has known contents-by-set. A lot does not. Paying more for less information is the worst trade in the hobby.

Repeat-buying to complete a set

Randomised products have no completion guarantee. Set completion is almost always cheaper through singles.

Confusing the Pal Stars simulator with a paid loot box

The Pal Stars pack game and Palsino are free, use no real money and pay out nothing of monetary value.
