But the production cost for sets with autographs is much higher because they have to pay the people to sign those cards. Same thing with patches/jerseys even if they aren't game worn but obviously more if they are. There are $20-$30 blasters that the production cost for Topps is higher on those than the F1 Sapphire box they charged $750 per box for. The last F1 Sapphire, Star Wars Sapphire, and last UEFA Sapphire the Topps factory cost compared to what they charged were the highest upsell cost in all 3 of those sports/brands history. I doubt there is a close second for all 3. Bowman Draft Sapphire was the same way too. $30 box 2 years ago they charged $200 for this year. For the exact same contents. 32 cards. No autographs.
