O/T -- but related to baseball card scarcity!
Posted By: Paul
The funny thing is that the guy who pulled 5 of these cards out of packs at Walmart probably didn't make all that much money. According to the story, he bought 1000 packs of cards in search of additional Alex Gordons. I don't know what Topps charges for packs these days -- $3? So he probably spent around 3K, and sold the 5 Gordons for 5K. Two thousand is a nice profit, but I'm not sure it justifies the risk he undertook in spending 3K on 2006 Topps cards, particularly when he had no idea at the time how much the Gordons would sell for.
