How much would you pay?

[bbcard1]

I am actually considering possibly doing this in a few years.

Let's say a mid-grade set of 518 or 520 of T206s were purchased, repackaged in boxes that look like a Piedmont pack and were sold at random one per pack. Say the grade was G to VG. You have an equal chance of getting a Cobb or a McGann...packaging is done with careful scrutiny and thoroughly randomized. Nothing of questionable authenticity...

What would you pay?

When I read this topic this immediately came to mind for some reason.

It really depends on what the worst condition cards look like.

Maybe the most would be $40. Aprox. 2.5x the lowest valued card for a chance to own a card 5x more than I paid.

You should also add t205 to the packs as well.

This sounds different than the "World's Finest Card Chase" boxes because you aren't just getting 80s and 90s packs as fillers. You at least know what set you would be getting a card from.

This sounds like a great idea. If you were assured that there would be no trimmed/altered cards, and condition would vary between G and V/G I'd say $25.00 to $40.00, or somewhere in the middle.

Fun idea...but I wouldn't pay much...as stated...the value of the avg graded common + maybe 5-10% would be what I'd pay.

[bbcard1]

I am thinking you'd have to pay around $20K for a set of 518 in G-VG...making your cost per card around $40...Marketing and packaging would be another $10-15K. Wouldn't be a cheap proposition...but would be fun. If someone else were to do it, I would roll the dice I think at $100 for one pack... but I'd probably only buy one pack.

You should also include like 10 Signed T206s. Autos are what is making this hobby today. That would be a good add on to the offer

Statistically, you're chances of getting a less common common or HOF'er are pretty good so I would be willing to pay $100 for a pack and the fun of it. Here's the issue I have - How do you handle knowing what's left as they are sold? This could raise or lower the pack value because if you're down to 10 packs and there's still a green Cobb then I'm buying the last 10 packs for $1000. You know buyers will be posting their significant wins on this forum and the more HOFers pulled from packs, the less desirable your remaining packs become.

Possibly presell your packs and ship on the same date?

Just put some 1/1's of some common autographs in there, glued to shiny cardboard...............and you can charge just about anything you want for them.

I'd pay $50-$100

[dstudeba]

$5-$10

[cobblove]

Can you get that many real tobacco packs? or would they be remakes?

[bbcard1]

What if you could upload a photo? Even one of u holding the card? Technology is pretty easy.

I would enclose a card with a code on it that you could input into the website to see what card you won.
