Getting cuts etc is expensive, but getting the top tier players to sign does not cost nearly what they're charging.

    These cards are "high end" but I'm not seeing the individual cards sell for anywhere close to what you'd need to get your money back. Usually if the box price keeps jacking up its because the boxes are still undervalued but I just don't see the value in these at all. Like a Julio auto /5 gets you about half your money back... how could a box ever pencil out? At least with a lot of insanely priced Panini products if you hit one of the top guys out of 5 you'll at least double your money back

    • @MrK623
      @MrK623 ปีที่แล้ว

      You probably have to hit one "monster" per box to break even. But it's a pyramid scheme. You can only sell to other "collectors", the
      cards really have zero intrinsic value. They are produced specifically to be collected. Claiming it is a high end product. But these autos are becoming more common and worth less and less like a decaying isotope until one day it all blows up.

      That's what I came up with. And that's assuming the relic actually sells for $60 and factoring in about $150 for the Chipper (I think I'm being very generous) before the chipper, I was thinking he had about the cost of one card in value.
