Beyond the question of what is ethical, a question is when is if and when is it okay to act unethically? Does $10,000 and a dumb trading card come close? Is it okay to break baseball card ethics for $1 million? Duly note that this scenario doesn't involve lying or deception-- ala altering a card or hiding cards in a safe then lying about it. In this scenario, the seller accurately states at sale that there is only one card in existence. Does this say that the the practical result ($1 million) can be so enormous that it makes performing the unethical act okay? Even further, can the enormity of the gain transform an unethical act into an ethical one?
