1939 Play Ball Set Break
Set is worth $10,000 (estimate)
162 cards in the set
$10,000 divided by 162 cards = $62 a spot
You buy in at $62 dollars to get a randomly drawn card from the break. Of course, you could get the Williams or Dimaggio or other HOFers or you could just get a common card.
It will be interesting to see if the trend continues in 2023.

I have been in a few. Mainly got commons because that is what the odds favor. Got a rally nice HOFer in one break so basically I have got lucky and broke even.
To me it is like doing group submissions. A guaranteed win for the one doing it. I can't imagine a scenario that either don't make some cash/free submissions.
