Best Packs to Open for Profit in TCG Card Shop Simulator

In TCG Card Shop Simulator, there’s only one card game available, which is Tetramon. Tetramon has three sets: Tetramon Base, Tetramon Destiny, and Tetramon Ghost.

The Tetramon Ghost is a set of full-art legendary cards, which is obtainable from either the Base or Destiny sets. For the Base and Destiny sets, there are four types of rarities for each pack: Basic, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. In its entirety, there are a total of eight different kinds of packs to open up, but which of these are the best ones to open?

Since the prices of these packs may vary depending on the game’s everchanging market prices, you want to know the breakdown of the prices first before knowing whether you are making a profit or not. Here’s the average cost of every pack in the game.

SetRarityAverage Cost
BaseBasic$3
BaseRare$3.40
BaseEpic$5.70
BaseLegendary$8.20
DestinyBasic$10.25
DestinyRare$14.30
DestinyEpic$19.24
DestinyLegendary$20.33

Regardless of what pack you are opening, you have a chance of getting Tetramons from the Ghost set. Even if you don’t get any card from the Ghost set, you’ll always make a profit from opening packs. There are some occasions where you lose some money when opening three to five packs, but when you start to add things up, you’ll eventually earn hundreds or thousands even without selling the less valuable ones.

Does opening packs with higher rarity give better cards?

Opening packs with higher rarities will give you a higher chance of getting more valuable cards. So, the best packs to open are always the most expensive card packs you have currently unlocked. From experience, there’s only one exception. Once you have unlocked the legendary pack from the base set and the basic pack from the Destiny set, the base legendary pack will give slightly higher profits than opening the basic pack from the Destiny set.

Once you reach the rare packs from the Destiny set, it should be a lot better than the legendary packs now. The costs rise up quickly, so you should be continuously selling single cards when opening packs.

Workers won’t be able to restock your single cards, but they’ll do everything else for you. You just need that one big hit and sell that expensive card to fully upgrade your shop. So, better start ripping those packs up!
