It’s also worth noting that each booster pack contains five cards instead of the ten included in the English boosters, and the booster boxes contain 30 boosters, not 36. They’re usually around half the price of the English booster box, so provided you don’t want to use up the cards in the set, they’re a great option for collectors.
