Having Buy a Box promos not appear in the main set can be an issue in itself, as the Nexus of Fate coverage debacle showed (Nexus of Fate was only available in foil, and due to curling, was often required to be proxied in players decks at tournaments, which was not ideal for viewers watching coverage)
The analyst said these collectibles might soon reach their Polymarket moment, a point when they could gain fast growth and popularity like other tokenized assets
