I am confused.. are we all saying that the thief stole boxes that are not worth anything?

The boxes are valuable in theory, the same way an unopened pack of Sweet Caps with a 1910 tax stamp might be valuable. Or it could have a card of a fish inside.

Its the cards, inside the packs, inside of the boxes that have theoretical value because they are unknown. The value of the boxes is not disputable just because prewar collectors do not collect modern cards or break boxes etc. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

The boxes are valuable in reality. They are literally talking about the retail value of the boxes.
Its the cards, inside the packs, inside of the boxes that have theoretical value because they are unknown. The value of the boxes is not disputable just because prewar collectors do not collect modern cards or break boxes etc. Just like scratch off lottery tickets

Unless I’m mistaken, the boxes have real-world monetary value because the rightful owner could have converted them into cash.
Someone stole $50,000 worth of inventory. I’m not sure why people have chosen to mock the product that was stolen.

I'm not arguing with that. I was just responding to people's questions about why a box would cost $3,500. The answer is because of what MIGHT be inside. |

Kinda like playing a $50 scratcher. 1 in 300 might pay something over $50. 99% of the time you win next to nothing.

While that would be a fun night of box ripping, I doubt, once opened, they'll be worth anywhere close to $50K. Makes a foolish decision all the more foolish. The only real value for this guy (assuming his luck at pack ripping was similar to mine) is if he planned to sell unopened, which seems like it would be hard to do locally, unless he had connections already lined up.

Thank Goodness for Insurance and Thank goodness the insurer can always set the "value" to potentially maximize the insurance
Hopefully they catch the person. No respect for the small business person and the Hobby in General
