How much would you pay?

I am finding the financial prospects dubious, through I don't think we are the guys for high risk packs but after some though, here is how i think I would do it (theoretically speaking). 1) Buy a solid G-VG set 2) cut a deal with one of the grading companies to both grade the set and custom header it (much like Nelson's Plank which describes it as part of the Carter Collection). 3) Scan every card and put it on a website. 4) Presell the entire set...not one pack goes out until all 520 are sold. Allow people to log on to the website and "claim" the card they got. They could even upload a picture of themselves with it...Depending on what happened, if someone kept a few packs, they could actually increase in demand on the secondary market. I am not sure that the numbers would ultimately work, though.

Not a bad idea, what is stopping someone from claiming a Ty Cobb, when they got a Snodgrass?
