I'm a little curious about whether the people buying packs from the store, cracking them, and selling them to buy more packs (essentially doing what you did, but opening instead of flipping) come out ahead in the long run. That may be difficult to model though and I guess if your approach turns out better than the secondary market approach, then the buying airdrops strategy would likely also be better.

This looks like an interesting series, and I look forward to seeing your results! I'd follow you to see where it goes...except I already am 🤣 Good luck with your airdrops!
