How much would you pay?

[bn2cardz]

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.

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.

Maybe $20-$40 for me...maybe.

There's no way I'd pay $100.

I think I would roll the dice say $50 - $75 for a VG or better if I was guaranteed they weren't altered? For example: if you broke them out of graded slabs and put the slip in with them???

I think it would be helpful to have the cards scanned and posted on a website before packing so anyone would know what they have a chance at. Also, maybe having some method of keeping track of what cards have been found. If for example, the Cobb green portrait has not been found yet and only 20 packs remain, people would probably pay higher for the remaining packs. Cool idea.

Questions,

1) Could you really use name-brand cigarette boxes for this idea? Doesn't the company still own the rights?

2) Isn't this considered a lottery and thus open to state and federal laws governing lotteries?

3) If you can get around questions 1 and 2, why not just buy a set of graded cards and make a vintage-style cigarette box that the slabs will fit into? This way, the cards remained graded and protected and the people buying the boxes KNOW the card hasn't been damaged since it was purchased, cracked out of the slabs and reinserted into the cigarette box. This would also save a lot of time and work, as far as cracking the slabs.
