Starter 1999- Question
So, I picked up a box recently. Sealed, etc.
- Is it guaranteed to have a Grim Tutor in it?
- How much is the box worth? No store has it for sale. I don't want to crack it if it's a rarity.
- Is the card distribution even, since there are less rares than boosters?
thanks.

Re: Starter 1999- Question
You are never guaranteed anything, but odds are very very good you will pull 1. The last box I got was $250, which I thought was a pretty good deal. I pulled a complete set out of it.Mr.C wrote:So, I picked up a box recently. Sealed, etc.

I have purchased boxes as low as $192, and have sold them as high as $275.
One time, I opened 4 packs and got 2 Grim Tutors from a box, while a friend opened 4 boxes and got 1 Grim Tutor. He had shit ass luck, but this kind of thing happens. Needless to say I sold the other 32 packs from that box after I got those two Grim's.
On a side note, I found Goblin Settler an extremely hard uncommon to get in packs. I'm not sure what the distribution was like on this card, but I was still needing it after 80+ packs opened. In the end I had to get it separately in an auction of 6 of them (which ended at $51).

I pick up Starter 1999 boxes up from a local comic shop for $80 each. I have openned 6 so far and have gotten 8 Grim Tutors. Every box had one and two boxes had 2. I know its not guarenteed, but from my experience openning so much of it, its pretty dang close. I agree with the wierd distribution of Goblin Settler. I have only gotten 5 out of the 6 boxes. I still need 4 more for my page sets.

Is this a recent occurrence? Or was this a while ago? As $80 is a truly nice find.Spectral_bears wrote:I pick up Starter 1999 boxes up from a local comic shop for $80 each.
I have one Goblin Settler left if you want it.

Yeah, its a term I coined. Since I became infatuated with Starter 1999 a while back I decided to build a set. Then when I got those boxes I decided to build 9 more sets, and have 9x of each card on each page.magic-belgium wrote:What is a page set ? 9 of the same card on a 9 Pocket page ?Spectral_bears wrote:I pick up Starter 1999 boxes up from a local comic shop for $80 each.

And yes, this is a recent occurance, the last box I got from them at that price was about 4 months ago.
