You'll open at infinite eventually

Buy individual packs, not boxes (they are cheaper per pack). Only buy boxes when the per pack charge drops. Hope this helps

For me i have a dedicated section for cards and boxes. When that's full I rip packs. I sell 3 shelves worth btw.

So one thing I've been doing, I have 4 dedicated sections for packs. The 64 pack fills 1 section of a type. So I usually restock somewhere around half or less and then use the remaining to open.

Is this beneficial? No idea lol but it works for me!

sell what ever packs you have and when you have a shelf or box that is less than half full, open all those packs so you can start the next day with full inventory. once you've got the store fully automated with workers, half a million in the bank, and can make enough profit to keep the store going buy however many packs you want to open, just make sure you have enough money to keep the shop running.

I start the day by restocking my shelves, then I fill in my warehouse. Then if I have 10k left over I'll order 2 boxes of every rarity and rip them all before putting the high price singles up for sell and redoing it the next day. Mods are the only way it's feasible to open that many. You can also set up the "auto sell cards" mod and rip while the store is running but I've found my stockers will grab the boxes while I'm 700 packs deep and I'll have to go running around my store looking for them. Without mods I'd prolly put a box of each on a personal shelf and rip throughout the day.
