Cheapest MTG Collector Booster Boxes Right Now
Collector Boosters started with Ravnica Allegiance back in January 2019 and have become a regular part of set product lineups. As the name implies, they are aimed at collectors and have more rares, foils, and extended art cards than other boosters. Unfortunately, containing the flashiest versions of the most sought-after cards in the given set usually causes the price to be quite high. For example, collector boosters for the new Commander Masters set are currently at $300-$400.
However, not every collector booster out there has to break the bank. And while some sets have more to offer than others, many of these cheap options I'm going to cover today have some amazing cards that it's possible to pull. So, without further ado, let's jump into the five cheapest collector boosters you can buy right now, how much they cost, and what cards they contain.
