    Hot Pack Successes??

    I was thinking of buying a "hot pack" online and I was wondering if it is worth it? Has anyone ever gotten something good from it? I would like to know if I would be wasting money.

    I wouldn't waste money on it. Many hot packs are from pack searchers, who can feel that there is a relic card inside, or know where the auto is in a pack. Sometimes packs are opened and a cheap relic is inserted and the packs are resealed. You will never pull a very valuable card from a hot pack. Relic cards aren't worth much, and that is the most common item in a hot pack.
    If you are desperate to get a "hit", buy a $20 blaster at Target or Walmart where there is a guaranteed relic or auto inserted per box.

    DO NOT buy "hot packs" online. I'm assuming you are talking about ebay. Almost all those packs come from pack searchers. Don't support those people.
