There is a card shop out of California that does this. Basically they prepackage high value cards and memorabilia and then sell them together for an even higher price under the "Super Breakers" name. Boxes are usually anywhere from $1k to $5k. If you break one on your own your likely to take a hit unless you snag one of the top items, but the vast majority are broken by groups who "draft" the hits. It's basically a $300 gamble that you'll pull one of the top two draft slots and double your money.

This box was in the $4k range if I remember correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0KedoEFL68

There are some other smaller companies that do this, but not to the level of these guys, although Leaf occasionally does a product along these lines. Never touch one that does not provide a checklist (legally you could be buying a empty box or a handful of 1990 Donruss commons with no recourse) and you'll also notice the legit products usually include a sketch or unlicensed original card to skirt lottery rules (even though that's exactly what it is) in certain states/territories.
