Default OT: Sport Kings Series B to include unopened goudey pack

Posted By: Phil B

They (the new owners of the modern Sport Kings company) bought that unopened pack just a few months ago at auction (so you can easily discover the exact value of the pack but I just can't recall which auction). Just after the auction ended I posted the question here as to why someone would pay such a crazy price for a supposedly unopened pack of Sport Kings particularly since whatever card was inside was not likely to come close in value to the price paid. The answers came back that there are "pack collectors" who don't care at all about the card inside but want to have an example of such a pack in opened condition. However, in this case the true answer to my question turned out to be that the current Sport Kings owner had decided to make an unopened pack the premium chase item for Series B. So apparently they were going to pay whatever it took to get that unopened pack (I believe it was over 10K). It was in a GAI slab if I recall correctly.
