I have paid that before, but I got a lot of good shit in it.

the old Donruss Signature series, where you get at least one Autograph per pack, I was buying those are 250 bucks per box.

At my heroxlix peak I bought 15 cases at $135 per. - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:25 2
- sucker. We sell cases for $95. - Remlik Aug 1, 11:34 1
  - Not those. Back when cases were *real* cases. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:35
Wha?!? I mean, seriously, if you get an autograph in every pack, how valuable can they really be? (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:20 17
- Depends on who you get. I just sold a Ric Flair auto for $125. It was # 1/1. Sold a Natalie Coughlin auto before the Olympics for $33. - Jim Aug 1, 11:22 15
  - I simply don't understand the market for these cards. Does anyone still make cheap cards that I can buy for about a buck? - musubi Aug 1, 11:26 14
    - Yeah, they actually do. I reviewed a box of Baseball cards just recently like that. Um... - Jim Aug 1, 11:29 3
      - Here's my review...if my boys gave a shit, we'd have collected this one. -- (link) - Jim Aug 1, 11:31
      - Awesome. That's what I'm talking about. Screw collecting for value. - musubi Aug 1, 11:31 1
        
        Yeah, this set has a Mascot subset...it has cards where a player gives tips on baseball skills - Jim Aug 1, 11:33
    - Topps does....their base set is about bottom dollar. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:27 5
      - I'm not looking for value. I'm looking for enjoying opening a pack to see if your favorite player is in there. - musubi Aug 1, 11:30 4
        
        the joy now is not in the cards, it is the inserts. - groiny Aug 1, 11:31 2
        
        That is a shame. I probably still have a billion Topps 88 Alfredo Griffin cards in my parents house somewhere. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:34 1
        
        A billion more and we've started to remove the glut of Topps 88 Alfredo Griffins that exist. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:40
        
        I hope you like stars cuz they don't do cards for everyone. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:31
    - silly moose, baseball cards aren't for kids anymore -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 11:27
    - nope. - groiny Aug 1, 11:27 2
      - Damn. Two bucks just for cheap card stock. Collectors have ruined baseball cards. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:29 1
        
        yup, I started to hate the business right about the time my shop bit the dust. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:30
- those particular boxes were like 24 packs in a box. - groiny Aug 1, 11:22
