What's the craziest they bought that you know of?

I can’t put my finger on a number, but for example every time a new Magic the Gathering Arena Set comes out he buys packs until he has a play set of nearly every rare. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more than five figures annually.

At least Magic cards are physical goods.

Edit: But apparently, MtG Arena is digital.
