How much would you pay?

[ctownboy]

Questions,

1) Could you really use name-brand cigarette boxes for this idea? Doesn't the company still own the rights?

2) Isn't this considered a lottery and thus open to state and federal laws governing lotteries?

3) If you can get around questions 1 and 2, why not just buy a set of graded cards and make a vintage-style cigarette box that the slabs will fit into? This way, the cards remained graded and protected and the people buying the boxes KNOW the card hasn't been damaged since it was purchased, cracked out of the slabs and reinserted into the cigarette box. This would also save a lot of time and work, as far as cracking the slabs.

If all the cards were slabbed and guaranteed to be a number (not authentic) I think you could charge quite a bit more for the product because of the added buyer's confidence.

You could use slabbed cards and alter the packaging...but I would guess that would kick your purchase price of a set up to what...maybe $30 or $35 K? So you are probably looking at $45K all in for the project, maybe a tad less and your COST starting to approach $100 per pack...

Would the pack come with cigarettes? No cigarettes would be a deal breaker for me.

Would the connecticut Wagner be in the mix? If so I'm in.
