After about this many packs, expected spend matches the estimated single price.
Best move: buy the single
Buy the single. Chasing this card is meaningfully more expensive than buying it outright.
Your expected chase cost is about 10.9x the estimated single price, the hybrid path is still about 3.8x the single, and the break-even point is only about 3.3 packs.
Quick strategy
Buy when the card is the real goal and you care more about certainty than pack-opening variance.
Rip a few packs only if you value the opening experience and you are willing to stop around 10 packs if the hit does not show up.
Do not chase indefinitely once your spend starts drifting toward $18.00 without meaningful progress.
Next move
Run the full calculator to compare buying now, chasing to expected value, and opening 10 packs before falling back to the single.
