Default Card raffles - way of the future?

Not on net 54, but I am seeing more and more card raffles online. Example: card is worth $100. Seller will offer 10 players a chance at $10 each. Card is raffled to one player, they win the card. Rest win nothing. Seller gets $100. Basically, gambling for a card.

I guess this started a few year ago, but now seems to be more active than ever. Can this be a bigger thing in the future?

Default Hmmmmm. Sounds a lot like

Ultra Modern! Pay $$$ for a single pack - hope you get a chase card or you get nothing and the manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank!

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.

I guess I would be okay with it. Who knows, maybe get lucky every once in a while. It would be one way to get a card I most likely would not be able to get, if I got lucky.

I would definitely do a 1/10 raffle for high priced cards. Those odds are good, when they sell 100 tickets and pull one winner it's a waste of time and money.

I participated in many of these years ago, but not as much recently. It's a fun concept. Just make sure you participate in a group that has somebody other than the card owner do the randomization of the draw and it should be recorded and posted to the group.

Good point Rich,
Would be fun If the group of ten were your buddies or respected friends in the hobby so no matter who won you'd be happy for them.
