People are entitled to charge what they want. It doesn't mean someone will buy it. But, why would you price a reprint significantly higher than the majority of the real ones (backs notwithstanding)? This seems silly. One for $77, one for $17k+, and one for $77k+. I'm guessing it's all to attract attention.

It does have great eye appeal as well :-)

Be careful, he might accept it

Wasn't Rick the one who sold the real ones?

It's a beautiful reprint. Maybe some stickers plastered all over the slab will help move it along.

I think the guy is fishing, hoping to find a shark who doesn't know enough about cards to think he got a great deal. Just sticking his hook in the big wide ocean in the hopes of a hit.

I could be wrong but that is my guess.

Yes, but this leaves a bad taste. It would be fine if he was selling these at a reasonable price. But, this is just silly.

Agree with this. I think it makes the dude look a tad shady and/or desperate. Whatever the adjective, it’s not a good look.

Who knows, maybe it's an inside joke. Probably.

Dunno what the reason but looks like they have listed several https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=2016+NSCC+%22THE+LUCKY+7+FIND%22+T206+TY+COBB +TOBACCO+&_sacat=0 and in completed auctions have sold at least 1.

I guess he's banking on the fact that someone will want the 7th out of 777 or the 777th out of 777 made. I know they sometimes try to charge extra for what is considered a special number in the run of limited editions. But how he came up with that kind of price is beyond me.

Guys, I honestly think the seller was just having a little fun here and doesn't reaaallly expect anywhere near that amount. (not my listing)

While PSA was slabbing these 777 cards, the rest of us have been waiting for our cards to be graded.

My favorite number is 7. Your post count on the other hand.... :)

and yes the seller is probably just having some fun...

Hello Bob do you mean the sticker like PWCC has?--they had one then they added a second sticker -- what does that mean do we think ??? Brent Seems Smart.

I saw Card Country (the owners are super-nice) invented a sticker called PC for Perfect Centering plus there is the Purple Sticker and the Rainbow One too these ancillary tools seems to favor/target the newbies IMO
