Then they'll print the cards on standard stock and package them in wax packs for retail sale at maybe 50 cents for 10 cards.
They'll make a fortune, and collectors, especially kids, will be able to have fun playing with cards again.

Mark, I can see something like this happening, but with college teams, and with all the major sports, not just baseball. I think this would take much more initial capital, say $25M or more, as the NCAA would demand a huge fee for an exclusive deal and college athletes can now be compensated.
