Yes i'm insuring.

Also, I just opened a few loose packs of non valuable stuff (SM Base, SM Crimson Invasion, SM Guardians Rising, XY Steam Siege).

From what I can tell you are guaranteed 1x Rare or above per pack and 1 Reverse Holo per pack

SM Base 1 - Rare Masquerain + Reverse Holo Masquerain R (so yes dupe rare in same pack)
SM Base 2 - Rare Cloyster + RH Yungoos C
Crimson Invasion 1 - Holo Rare Alolan Raichu + RH Feebas C
Crimson Invasion 2 - Rare Altaria + RH Houndoom R
Guardians Rising 1 - Rare Oricorio + RH Alolan Geodude C
Guardians Rising 2 - Holo Rare Alolan Golem + RH Clefable UC
Steam Siege - Holo Rare Chandelure + RH Drifloon C

So small sample size but the rates were abyssmal. From what I can see the only thing worth more than $1 is the Holo Rare Alolan Golem which is worth like $2 on a good day

That definitely kills my desire to open any Hidden Fates packs where I would be pissing away $8 per bad pack (which seems to be more frequent than not). Or I guess $4-5 per pack if you say 'at cost'

EDIT: Also one of the packs (the double Masquerain pack) was all scuffed in one corner on every card which I may expect off a shelf but it came out of a box. So theoretically shouldn't have been manhandled in stores.
