What do you think of this? Mystery Box

[rdwyer]

10,000 boxes! $99 each. No thanks.

"Cards in photo may not be exact cards"...enough said

Other collectibles markets do this regularly and it is a huge sham. The call them "repacks" and its always a disappointment as there is no accountability as to what they actually have.

I would vehemently encourage you to stay away.

10,000 boxes probably means what? 9,500 Rollie Fingers?

I would hope the cards in the photo aren't the exact cards as those are all trimmed to hell! lol

Huge scam. There are two of the cards pictured that could not even be worth $100 if you get one in low grade. If there was full disclosure, and you could see that they were giving roughly $70 value per box, then each person could decide if the gamble was worth it to them for entertainment value. But this just looks really shady. I can't imagine they will sell many.

The question is, if they only sell 100 of these, will they just send out the first 100 Rollie Fingers cards and keep the rest?

Total rip off...but no excuse to slander Rollie. Lol.

Looking beyond the sheer fact that many of those rookie cards (especially in low-grade condition) can be had for under $25.00 on eBay, I can't believe that they expect to sell that many of those at $100 a pop with such limited information and no scans of the high-dollar cards.

Well that looks a tad more respectable than a home office of a rented PO Box in the "UPS Store".

I wouldn't be so sure they don't quickly sell out. This is basically the same thing these breakers do nowadays when they sell boxes and cases of cards. It is just another form of legalized gambling. I understand that these boxes will probably include 5,000+ Rollie Fingers rookie cards but, there is going to be at least one '52 Mantle, and during the National I came across one dealing selling a '52 Topps Mantle graded PSA 1, that had an actual, sizable hole punched in it. When I asked how much, he didn't flinch in responding - $12,000 firm! And right there is the reason a ton of people will spend $99 on the chance to get at least this one rookie card.

Get ready for a bunch of Phil Niekro 1970 beaters.

Does anyone know who runs this company? How can they assure that this is a random thing and that cousin Eddie isn't going to be the lucky winner of the 52 Mantle?
