Warning: that $95 'limited edition' mystery box from the comic shop in Rochester was a total bust
So I hit up this comic shop in Rochester last weekend and they were pushing these mystery boxes for $95. The guy behind the counter swore every box had at least one key issue inside. Here's my bad take breakdown: one side says mystery boxes are a fun gamble and the shop just does it to move stock, the other side says they're basically a way to dump junk on people who don't know better. I landed on the second one hard. My box had two beat-up copies of stuff I already owned, a sticker sheet, and a 'rare' variant cover that sold on eBay for $4 when I checked. I spent $95 and maybe got $20 of stuff I actually wanted. When I asked about it the guy just shrugged and said 'that's the gamble.' So which is it, are these boxes a fun thing or a rip off, and has anyone else opened one that was actually worth it?
