I've been redeeming packs from sets that I have nowhere near competition (e.g. Sun/Moon or early Sword & Shield sets that I don't even have 4 copies of most commons/uncommons let alone the rares and above) to trade for low value V's, Full Arts, and Secret Rares (e.g. in PTCGO secret rare Boost Shake and Exp Share is only 3-5 packs while Quick Ball is 100+, but they all only cost 2K each to redeem in PTCGL, so I traded some packs for the low value secret rares so I can redeem more valuable ones with my points in PTCGL). As I have Brilliant Stars, Celebrations, Lost Origin, and some other sets mostly completed, I have saved my codes for those since that will result in huge amounts of crafting points from opening them in PTCGL. I've also been redeeming extra ETB codes to trade the sleeves for packs to then trade for cards.So what's the general consensus of how to proceed? Hold off on claiming codes in PTCGO and don't open any packs or products you already have on your account? Isn't there going to be a gift of crafting materials in Live based on how many packs you have in PTCGO?
You also want to have 125 packs when transferring from PTCGO to PTCGL to gain the max amount of crystals from those converting. If you've been playing since PTCGL was announced, you could easily have passed that amount in untradeable packs. If you're nowhere near that amount, I'm not sure redeeming packs to reach that amount is worth it or not, but if you're really close to a breakpoint (125 being the highest one) it might be worth considering.
