The other hobby exclusive stuff won't exceed the value of the extra Base+SP sets. I can build double the 1-500 sets and sell them for $350-$400 for weeks after release.
At the end of the day, I practice what I preach. I'm not debating from the sidelines. I'm the guy who actually will open the 200 blasters and break everything down for resale. And from a purely monetary/value/business standpoint, that option provides the highest return for the majority of the time.
I'll concede that a red ink hunter is better off buying hobby if that's the only thing they care about, but that takes my original point so far off the rails into the niche world of red ink autos that it would no longer make sense for me to debate it. I'm not ripping 200 blasters in search of red ink.

And I’ll concede that even at today’s elevated blaster prices, there can still be better value for resale by opening retail versus hobby.
However, I will take the 2x better odds at pulling a red ink auto in a single box of hobby over 3 blasters every day of the week from a treasure hunter’s perspective.
