🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️ We’re diving headfirst into the full Secret Lair Summer Superdrop 2025 — including that sweet Final Fantasy collab we talked about a couple weeks ago! 🧙‍♂️🎮💥

We’re breaking it all down: 🔥 What’s hot 🤷‍♂️ What’s meh 💰 And which ones are actually worth your cash!

From insane reprints to gorgeous new art, we’re calling out the highlights, talking value, and letting you know which drops are headed straight into our decks.

Wondering if the price hike is justified? We’ve got you. We’re crunching numbers, breaking down Break Points (BP), and helping you decide if this drop’s worth going deep on... or skipping entirely.

💸 Financial Breakdown (Before Fees/Shipping):

💡 What’s a Break Point (BP)? BP = How many you need to buy to get one free based on resale value. Buy smart... maybe even flip one to pay for the rest!

💡 What is Break Point (BP)?

Break Point (BP) helps determine how many drops you need to buy to get one essentially free — because let’s be honest, we all want one for the collection!

How it works: 1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil and Non-Foil values. 2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and drop cost to find Net Profit. 3️⃣ Divide total profit by the cost of one drop to get your BP.

🔍 Example: If a drop costs $40 and has a Net Profit of $80, buying 2 covers the cost of one. (BP 2) If Net Profit is $55, you’d need 4 drops to break even. (BP 4)

💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip after shipping but tend to recover or even rise 10–16 months later — patience can pay off!
