Repacks: Anyone here buy repacks?
Article on the NYT about repacks, veered to negative by the end of the article. This is paywalled. If you want to read it and run into a paywall (generally you get 10 free article from the NYT), PM me, and I will get you a free article.
I don't buy repacks. I hate the gambling aspect of cards. I really enjoy purchasing the exact card of Barry Larkin or Ken Griffey Jr that I want. I don't get that with packs. Does anyone here buy the modern repacks?

No. I don’t even buy packs or boxes these days. I buy singles and sets.

I'm going to say very very few vintage n54 collectors have/will ever touch them. It's like throwing money into a black hole

I feel sorry for anyone whose enjoyment of the hobby comes via that method.

I don't buy repacks nor do I buy/sell on WhatNot, but apparently, WhatNot recently banned selling repacked cards, according to Geoff Wilson (CardsHQ in Atlanta).

That business is way to big for them to shut it down but now so big (dollar wise) that they are getting ahead of problems. And I suspect that all of our collective heads would spin if we knew if even half of the dollars involved. From what I have been able to interpret it is 10s of millions of dollars a month all in.
