Nice! I was wondering if should go that route of just buying the actual cards to complete royalty but the gambler in me made me cave and buy packs instead on the market. It’s good to know royalty is not that bad even if you just go directly for the cards.[/quote]
So here was the final breakdown of cost - I'm a nerd and made a spreadsheet

Common - $3.61 for 44 NFT's - average of $0.08 per card
Uncommon - $3.43 for 28 NFT's - average of $0.12 per card
Rare - $9.00 for 18 NFT's - average of $0.50 per card
Epic - $134.65 for 15 NFT's - average of $8.98 per card
I had some friends help with some of the Epics and they cut me a deal so the total value is a little low, but for Common through Rare I got them all on the secondary market. It's crazy how cheap they end up being.
