Well that looks a tad more respectable than a home office of a rented PO Box in the "UPS Store".

I wouldn't be so sure they don't quickly sell out. This is basically the same thing these breakers do nowadays when they sell boxes and cases of cards. It is just another form of legalized gambling. I understand that these boxes will probably include 5,000+ Rollie Fingers rookie cards but, there is going to be at least one '52 Mantle, and during the National I came across one dealing selling a '52 Topps Mantle graded PSA 1, that had an actual, sizable hole punched in it. When I asked how much, he didn't flinch in responding - $12,000 firm! And right there is the reason a ton of people will spend $99 on the chance to get at least this one rookie card.

I haven't dipped my toe in the area yet but I really like the set breaker deals that are on the board every now and then. There are only so many cards in the set, you see photos of the actual cards being dispersed, and you have a reasonable shot at landing a star card.

Yes. He was finally elected by the Veterans' Committee a couple of years ago, not long after he died.

If there was actually a 1 in whatever chance to get the big hit out of these products than it would be worth the gamble for many, including myself. The big question I always have is how do I know I actually have a shot to pull the 52 Mantle? Even if it really was inserted into a box, how do we know that didn't end up with the guy putting this together, or his good friend?

Buy 3 or more Mystery Boxes and get a Certified Autographed Hall of Fame Player Card!!!!!

This would mean that they would have to keep all the HOF card boxes separate.

Tell you what.....Just send me $100 a month or to make it quicker a week. Lump sum payments ok too- and eventually I'll send you one of the big hit cards from their list. Probably even before you've sent me the million they'd get from a sellout. Even better deal right? Guaranteed major card!

Of course to avoid false advertising of rookie cards the Mantle wouldn't be the 52 Topps.

wishing he had a few big deal beaters and a few big boxes of cheap rookies to turn into almost a million...
