Pack to Power is basically the concept of trading a booster pack worth of cards up into one of the pieces of the power nine. Basically, the idea is that you open a booster pack, and trade only cards you have opened or acquire from trading with the previously mentioned cards until you get one of the pieces.
The catch obviously is that the cards that begin within a booster pack probably won't be equivalent in value to a piece of the power nine so you must trade up so the idea is that each trade must be increasing in value. Now because of this, many people who attempt this look for easy deals in attempting to rip off players who are unsure about player values.
The other way to do this is to incrementally trade up for people who want the cards in your current PtP or people who wish to help you along the way. So when I say I don't want to rip people off, it means that I want my trades to incrementally increase the value of my pack until I reach my goal.
