Default look what this guy found in a pack..........

"Two cut signatures. What's the big deal?"

Money. In all likelihood, that guy is going to auction that off on ebay and cash in. it's like winning the lottery...hitting the jackpot in vegas. it essentially represents what modern pack ripping is all about for a lot of collectors...gambling.

and the pack i believe is/was $300. I cant imagine paying that much for a pack of modern cards. value doesnt hold...collectibility is saturated and contrived...and chances of getting a good card are minimal. i once spent $15 on a pack a few years ago...got like 6 cards...one of which was a tom brunansky auto. nothing against brunansky, but i felt like a clown after ripping that pack and gaining only 15 seconds of transient excitement. i could have bought an in and out burger with some of that money and i would have felt much more satiated.
