We live in a world where a Cheeto sells for five figures and a banana goes for six million. A hundred bucks for an old factory case seems tame.

Hell, people ask for thousands on common junk wax cards with uncorrected errors. This modern era of collecting is bat s**t crazy.

So, yes. I did miss your point. Sorry about that. I’ve become so desensitized to modern hobby madness, I barely raised an eyebrow at the $100 price tag.
