There were indeed 50 packs but no box, the 50 packs were in a ziploc bag of all things, which makes you wonder if they were even 50 packs from one box or 50 random packs thrown together in a ziploc bag. As a collector I was hoping for the box just to have it, but there is also a pretty high likelihood of completing a set from one box. As it is I was only able to get 90/100 of the set which isn't bad at all but I can't help but wonder if I had actually received 50 packs in one original display box.
