I purchased a box from Amazon in March for $22.99. Amazon was sold out during April, May, and much of June. I bought another box from them 2 weeks ago, same product and brand, for $44.99, which is by far the best price I have seen in quite a while.

Thanks. Just checked. In the only listing on Amazon I could find, they want more then that for half a box now, and out of stock until September 7th.

Supply chain issues because all of them are made in China, as well. So blame COVID for both the supply and demand pressures on this supply staple.

It was previously thought they cut them up to get the cards out easier, but it seems that was an urban hoax. However, with the stickers they place over them, that would be hard to get off. So they probably just toss them in the trash.

My guess is they cut them up the side to easily remove the card, but that’s pure speculation.
