Oh God, I hope so. I can't afford anything at these absurd prices.

I wonder if someone is that hard up for fifty to a hundred bucks that they need to shill up a card like that? I get PERHAPS doing it a number of times, but one card?

People sell $3 forged autographs, counterfeit $20 cards, soak/trim/press cheap cards all the time. Not everyone has a lot of cash and are happy making a few extra dollars. Making an extra $5-$50 per transaction adds up fast when you do it 100s if not 1000s of times. If you have a lot of cash it seems stupid but if you make $25K a year at a job it will greatly improve your life.
