  3. Join community breaks: Group breaks can increase your odds of seeing multiple booster boxes opened, allowing you to trade on the spot for the cards you need.
  4. Protect immediately: Keep penny sleeves and top loaders nearby so any rare pull can be preserved from the second it leaves the pack.
  5. Track your collection: Apps and spreadsheets make it easy to log duplicates for trading, selling, or gifting.
