Default OT - Example of why card collecting is dying re: Topps

Saw this article today on Daily News. Kid bought a signed Daniel Murphy bat from Topps for $175 (already absurd) with guarantee that it would arrive for his birthday.

Daniel Murphy hits 6 homers in a row to set a postseason record.

Topps then tells the kid, sorry, but you paid too little for your Daniel Murphy bat. We aren't going to sell it to you now so we can make more money selling it to someone else. How about 25% off instead on a nice $500 Mike Trout bat?

Good move.
