Rising Star Game: Analyzing Buying cards from market vs Buying booster packs.

Last time I analyzed the RisingStar cards on the market on my post and I concluded that in most of the cases buying booster pack is a beneficial bet. But currently I feel that stats have altered a lot ,let's check.

So I just try to take the least value of the rare cards that you can get from Booster pack.(reason for taking rare card because booster pack guarantees 1 rare card.)

So below is the price list of cards listed in market. For converting swap.hive into starbits, I am using multiplying factor of 2775 .(10000 Starbits for 3.6 swap.hive)

Card Type: People

Card Name Price Equivalent Starbits price R17 Winston 3.25 Swap.Hive 9018 SB R18 Toadie 5450 SB 5450 SB R21 MC Pressure 6500 SB 6500 SB R22 Derek 5450 SB 5450 SB R23 Daisy 5500 SB 5500 SB R27 Frankie 6250 SB 6250 SB R28 Lolita 3.17 Swap.Hive 8796 SB R29 Antonio 7500 SB 7500 SB R32 Rose Petal 6900 SB 6900 SB R34 Ed 7500 SB 7500 SB R35 Hank NA NA

Discontinued cards after last report. (I guess no new rare card is started as such)
R4 Female Rapper
R5 Male Rapper
S6 Wizzy

Card Type: Instruments

Card Name Price Equivalent Starbits price R16 MPC500 4800 SB 4800 SB R24 The Red One 4500 SB 4500 SB R25 Double Bass 4500 SB 4500 SB R26 Lute 3000 SB 3000 SB R26 Lute 4350 SB 4350 SB R30 80s Mic 4000 SB 4000 SB R31 Nykelharpa 2800 SB 2800 SB R33 Hang Drum 8900 SB 8900 SB

Card Type: Vehicles

Card Name Price Equivalent Starbits price R19 Speed Boat 17500 SB 17500 SB R20 Touring Coach 19999 SB 19999 SB

By seeing this data, there are 3 cases out of 20, that your single card will be worth more than booster pack cost. In 11 cases it will at least make more than 50% of your booster cost. there are only 6 case where you might not break even half the value of booster pack.

But note, I have not considered that you might get Epic and Legendary cards in pack, though their probability is slight but still it is dependent on your luck.
