Can vouch for you Michael. Becoming a channel member has its perks & you have helped me make better & sensical decisions. Side note, very relatable video - in the sense you not only talk about it, you actually do it... What I'm doing 2024 so far? A couple lost origin & astral radiance booster boxes. Lost origin will see some big increases due to the depth & massive chase. Cheers again mate. Here for the long haul 👌

Hi, nice video, nice insights, thanks for that ! Would you say 3 Pack Blisters are as good as getting boxes if u dont have the money and want to diversify ? If I divide booster boxes by 36 packs, the price per 3 packs is sometimes significantly higher than for a 3 Pack Blister..and in the longrun blister prices are matching the pack prices from a box from what i have seen. Would love to hear your standpoint on that

It's always difficult to know where the line is with this sort of thing. I don't always think things like Patreon and Memberships are bad, especially if you're providing value in return. Then on the other side of the spectrum you get idiots like Rattle asking for 100k in donations when we very recently saw him waste 15k+ opening Evolving Skies packs. Personally I think putting a short clip at the end saying how to become a channel member and what the perks are would be better.
