The demand is through the roof. $200 was very fair. Even if it cost them $2 to make.

Agree. Most/all of us know what moss is saying. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with him. I'm not sure why he keeps beating that drum though.
It's similar to dynamic pricing that most/all pro sports teams have implemented the past few years. When the Lakers or Warriors come to town, those tickets are more expensive than the Thunder and Magic. It doesn't cost the team any more/less to run operations for any specific game. Teams realized they were leaving a lot of meat on the bone back in the day by pricing tickets the same across the board so they decided to take some of those profits for themselves.
Topps is in business to make money. If they can keep their product cost down and charge more...why wouldn't they? Of course it would be great if they still charged $50 for TC Sapphire, but I get it.
