Just because reprints tank prices doesn't mean that they won't eventually go back up in price. Exploration (Urza's Saga) was 43$ before Conspiracy, went down to 11$, and is now up at 78$.
Easily available less than that on TCG Player. Even the Saga one is under $60 for a nice copy. If you are talking MP you are in the $50 range.
I get your point that reprints eventually go up (if not reprinted over and over), but doesn't have any effect on how awful of a deal it is to pay $16 a pack for $3-4 worth of cards...

I'm saying that most packs will be worth less than half of what they cost. That's feel bad on a whole new level. After reprints tank prices it'll probably be more like 25% or less of the cost for most packs. Of course booster packs are always a gamble, but the the high price point with little to no additional cost to Wizards makes it more like just burning your money.

Looking at the reprints of jumpstart and core 2021
Not only I think the suposive cards rudy found we're most likely real I think there gonna make the odds a lot better of getting a pack value back (still overpriced packs though especially the vip edition)
Where is this list of potential cards? Also, isn't Rudy the owner of Alpha Investments? Are we sure he is just not talking the cards up, so the finance people can move their cards?
Problem isn't those cards... it's the $0.50 garbage that will likely be most of the cards.

Why is Grim Tutor worth 10x the cost of a Demonic Tutor, a card that's better in every way?
Because it's rare. A reprint of this card will probably be in the $20 realm and drop from there. Presales will start high, but if it's a rare, it won't be worth much for quite a while.

So double the rares/foils and DOUBLE THE PRICE. So $19.99 a pack??? Yes I saw the 6.99 online price. Buying individual packs for under 10 bucks will be non-existant unless you buy a box. Prove me wrong WotC. I hope I am wrong, but I bet I'm not.
I'm guessing single packs at $15 and boxes will run about $240. For a few weeks it'll look like a great deal, then the cards will plummet in price and EV will be less than the box. Same crap different set.
If these were $5 packs, the drop in prices on singles would be no big deal, but to gouge people based on potential value and then seeing all that value disappear isn't cool. But hey, same as it has been for about a decade...

If the MTGO price is an indication, this SHOULD be a $170 booster box product. Its the same mtgo booster price as Modern Horizons, but a 24 pack box instead of 36.
Also, at 332 it has 78 cards more than a normal set, so there are likely twice as many rares and mythics in the set as normal (68) so the odds of opening any individual rare or mythic is the same as a normal product.
Too bad it won't be since they did away with MSRP.
$10-15 a pack if the card selection is good.
