25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II — Worth Ripping?

Right now: the best rip in 25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II is the Booster Box (24 packs) at $75.78 against $200.88 of expected pulls — a +125% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.

25th Anniversary Rarity Collection II arrived May 24, 2024, six months after the original sold through everywhere, and it runs the same playbook: five cards per pack, all foil, every card Super Rare or better. The chase structure carries over too — Quarter Century Secret Rares at roughly 1 in 8 packs by community estimates, plus Collector's Rares, Platinum Secret Rares and a lottery-ticket Starlight tier.

The reprint pool is again a mix of competitive staples and fan favorites, which matters more than it sounds. In a normal core booster most of the pack is worth pennies; here the worst case is five Super Rares, and Supers of played cards keep a real floor under every pack you open.

RA02 was printed hard, so sealed settled cheaper than the first Rarity Collection — which, perversely, is good news for rippers: similar expected value against a lower cost of entry. The live numbers below show where the margin stands today and which product gets you in cheapest.
