It's $14.99 for all three cards at once. The popular players are still selling. Vlad Guerrero just sold 27,000+ cards during his week.

The suddenly popular part was based on the price jump once the print run was announced. A card that was selling for $5.00 from people who bought in bulk on Ebay, was now between $59 and $154 on Ebay. One for auction is now up to $55 with four days left. Anyone who invested in them is now making a huge % return on their investment.
