Busting cases of new products and grading for PSA 10s has been going on for a while, and is basically like playing the lottery.
Most of these autos next year will sell for $1-5 each. So a jumbo box with five autos could get you the couple of guys that sell for $100 each, or the guys that will be out of baseball in a couple of years after toiling in the minors.

Huge churn in the segment because a bunch of people give up on it after wasting money for years. Want to watch some serious money getting blown? Watch a case break of Topps Transcendant, the $30,000 a box product with 200 or so cards in it. So 200 people all throw $150 in a pot, the breaker buys the box, and everyone gets one card. A few of them win a card worth/selling for thousands, the rest get serial numbered cards that sell for about $30-50 each.

Kind of like what Vintage Breaks is doing with 50s-80s packs. They crack a $500 pack with 10 cards, selling each slot for $50. You get one card mailed to you randomly selected and opened live on Youtube/Facebook. Most cards won could be bought for $1 on eBay. Some will end up with PSA 8-10 HoF Rookies. Effectively gambling.
