For that you could probably be very happy with one of each rare/mythic, two of each uncommon, and four of each common (say).  Keep them sleeved up and divided into stacks by rarity - each faux pack is 1 rare, 4 uncommon, and 9 commons.  You also keep a stack of basic lands for people to take from as needed to build their 40 card decks (typically 24 cards and 16 lands).A full set of one each of Core 221 is currently $238.74. But $100 of that is just 6 cards. <a href="https://www.mtggoldfish.com/index/M21#paper" target="_blank">Core Set 2021 MTG / MTGO Price History</a>The commons are essentially free if you know someone who plays though (they're left in stacks at the game shops after drafts, along with a lot of the uncommons). It looks like most of the other sets are around that too. I think that's using the median price to buy though, so you can do it for less.  TCGplayer is a common place to order from in the US.  Prices in the EU are generally a lot less for many of the cards.</blockquote>
