these silly and I might add EXPENSIVE items they put up must be how they finance the new wackies, or whatever else they sell that loses money. I was told they took four of five wacky original art from artists to sell. (The main reason I never approached them)...use my art as many times as you want but the art's mine. I wish they would go back to cheap card stock, cheapo wax packs, lousy stiff cardboard gum so kids could actually afford to buy hockey / baseball and whatever other cards sets are out there. Then kids could actually afford to complete a set! I bought an unopened box of hockey cards in 1976..a complete set (396) was in the box! and it cost what 15 cents a pack.I bet if they went back to cheaply made stuff they could sell a lot of cheapies in a pack for a measly buck...kids could throw them at walls again rather than having dad guard them with his life. It's like taxes and politicians. they think if they raise taxes they get more money, but people find ways to avoid the higher tax and the government gets less money, so they raise taxes again. France raised taxes to 75% for the rich so the rich left and no football (Soccer) player will play for France! Now the world is in financial ruin. Catering to collectors break every hobby. 1980's Comics catered to collectors boomed then bust and the distributors went bankrupt as did many comics makers. Cards catered to collectors in the early 90's card prices soared, boom then bust.
Oh did I say that out loud?
