Somebody has the gall to sell a new pack of cards for $500??!??!!!?

It sounds crazy, but there is a lot of product out there now that costs even more. And there are high end collectors that break multiple cases of various issues as soon as they come out. Out of my league, but someone I used to work with did it frequently. He sells most of the cards right away, and keeps a few here and there for his collection. Occasionally he would take a big hit but it was amazing how often he'd break even or turn a profit despite keeping a couple cards.
And those $500 exquisite packs from 03 now go for about 10k. If you can find one.
