Is the Armarouge ex Premium Collection good value for money?
The box contains one regular sized Armarouge ex card from the Paldean Fates set, a Charcadet holo rare, a Ceruledge holo rare, a magnetic card holder, a pack of 65 card sleeves and 6 Booster packs.
Booster packs generally retail on selling sites such as Ebay, for around £4 in the UK and $4 in the US. The Armarouge ex Promo card is a full art shiny card and likely to be worth around £5 / $5 while the other two cards are holo rare and likely to be worth £2.50 / $2.50 each. Packs of 65 card sleeves generally retail for £5 / $5 while the magnetic card holder is likely to be worth around £4 / $4.
The six Booster packs would therefore cost £24 ($24) adding the expected value of the three cards takes the total to around £34 or $34 and if the card holder is worth £4 / $4 and the sleeves £5 / $5 this would make the set worth around £43 / $43 which is slightly more than the recommended retail price of £39.99 / $39.99.
