So I have been thinking about completing a Master Set of Majestic Dawn. Should I buy a booster box and then buy the singles that I am missing or should I just buy all the singles? As of right now, I would think a booster box is the best route but I have not calculated how much buying all singles would cost yet.I have about 5 packs opened of MD. I just started collecting again. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
Singles or Booster Box for Master Set

I really like opening Booster Boxes so I would choose that. Doesn't ensure that you get the specific cards you need though

True, but 60% of your trade material will be common/uncommon. That near set was selling for less than the price of a box, and only 4 cards short. I wish the last few sets I could have bought a near set for less than the price of a box and only be 4 cards short.
A master set means you have to get all reverses right?
That's gonna be hard if you're not happy with conditions. Reverse holos scratch easy so buying singles might not be pleasing but will be cost efficient.
Buying singles overall saves more money than boxes but older boxes have better pull rates than BW sets.
But I can't help myself so I buy boxes.
I need Skyridge cards but I'm planning on getting a box since singles won't be as mint.

Ya. I am planning to have all the RH's. As long as they are NM I am ok with it. Since MD has 96 RH cards I would need to buy at least 3 boxes to complete it. But the chance of that happening is small since there probs would be duplicates. I am planning to buy singles as I have someone already trading me many cards and it is less expensive. While I am at it, I am throwing in the Glaceon and Leafeon theme deck exclusive cards and prerelease cards too making a grand total of 200 cards.
I agree with MSP, if you want mint condition you are best off buying a few boxes and filling in the gaps from reputable sellers.
If Ex/NM is good enough then buy a near complete or complete set. You could also probably put together a set through online stores for less but again you would be getting mint cards.
When I collected English cards (for about 2 sets), I bought 3 booster boxes of each and got all the LV X and holo cards and filled in the reverse holo gaps from a good ebay seller with mint reverse holo cards.
Cost me about 240$ to complete each set but they are gem mint cards which is nice.
