how much is a pack of magic cards actually worth

[seba1983]

depends on the edition ... there are some very special boosters that will sell for something like 1500-2500$.

Actually Worth? or Actual Price from Wizards?

Actual Worth, depends on the set and if that set is still being printed...

Actual Sell Price from Wizards? (They actually only sell Cases and Palettes) about $1.97 a pack...

Can you buy them for that much? NO... probably not.. you have to be a dealer with a direct line to WoTC, which means that you have to be a major seller of MTG cards.

So why do most stores sell them for about $3.99+? Because of business costs and overhead. Also most smaller stores are buying from dealers that buy from WoTC, so they are actually buying the packs at about $2.50 - $3.00 a pack.... since the dealer has to make money too.

That's also kind of a bulk deal since most of the purchases this way are purchases of cases (6 boxes of 36 boosters, which equals 216 boosters.)
