The first opening of my 220 Chaos Legend Packs. Investment round!
Guess that I am not the only one who did purchase some Chaos Legend packs. I did save 800 credits in the past months. Due to the fact that I also had more than 20 vouchers, I could purchase 200 packs and got 20 as bonus.
While everything is itching to open them all at once. I won't.
There is even a probability that I won't open them all. I could be that I will save 10 or 20 to sell when all packs are sold out.
The rest will be opened in batches. So I did start with the opening of 25 packs today.
To make the math easy let's forget about the vouchers and just set the purchase value on $100.
I do open them in batches of 5. I still have some Alchemy and Legendary Potions. So let's see if they do their work.
First 5 packs
Well the first 25 cards weren't exactly a dream opening.
No Golden foil; no legendary. With a value of $7.79, way below the purchase value of $20. The best set of 5 was this one.
Second 5 packs
A little bit better with 2 golden foil cards.
The packs did have a combined value of $16.43.
Not bad at all. $24.22 after 10 packs but would have been better off purchasing those cards on the market.
Third 5 packs
The opening of the next 5 packs, was more or less back 2 square one.
So again a loosing opening. But the combined value of $12.11 isn't bad at all. Remember that when you are opening packs, you are hoping on Golden Foils, Legendaries and Summoners.
Fourth 5 packs
Still waiting on the magic of my potions. They could kick in at any moment.
And voila: a golden foil Epic card. That's why we do this.
Too bad that the other 4 packs were just fillings.
So after 80 packs we have a value of $73.02.
Fifth 5 packs
The last 25 cards for today. Would be great if we could score another Legendary or a golden foil.
That's more like it. A legendary and an Epic in one set. That does push us forward.
And a golden foil in the last 5 cards.
Conclusion
To my surprise, the combined value of the cards was more than the purchase value of $100. A profit of $5.87. But like we all know, lot's of packs will be opened and probably lot's of cards will be offered to the market, which will have an effect on the value.
After opening 84 packs, the combined value of my Chaos Legend cards is $356.
So more or less break even. But with the purchase of those 220 packs, I will have more chances on some airdrop cards. Also due to the fact that I won't open them all, I will get some extra SPS airdrop points.
Let's hope the openings of tomorrow will be better!

You got some great cards...congratulations..!!..
Thanks. I am doubting to lease them to my alt account and see if I can earn anything with them there.
Also did purchase some packs?
Sounds like a good idea.... Yeah, I bought around 150 packs, only 50 today though😀
And something good in them?
Well, a few legendarys, and some gold epics...Opened around 100 packs during the presale... haven't opened the ones I bought yesterday... Probably going to buy some more...to boost the investment a bit😀
I will probably stick with this investment. Was a huge one for me. Maybe I will swap some SPS from time to time for a new pack. Or just purchase a card with it, I do need.
I know what you mean...it's a lot of money....so I'm just going to do what I have done since I started, just buy gradually, whenever it's possible...
Similar story. I did not sell the cards right after I opened the pack the last time. The market value dropped after, and the existing car value is way below my initial investment.

I will keep them and probably lease them to my alt account, to see if I can score some cards there. Won't sell any of the cards until I did level them up to the max my summoners can cope with.

It's better to keep them if one plans to use it in the game. For random investors, things could be different.
Indeed different perspectives
