Low numbered Wilson, Sasaki, Kim, Jobe, Schwell, Waldrep, Shaw, Campbell, Crews, Smith, Rice parallels. Maybe 400 of these total? You can snag a Campbell orange for less than the price of a box but maybe Rice gold goes for $750?

Throw in maybe 150 total Sapphire autos-Trout, Ohtani, low numbered parallels of them and the others, and maybe 50 more Non auto Sapphires.

And maybe 25-50 1/1s go for $500+? Most won't clear $200.

So maybe 1350 total cards, at most, across 15k boxes that break even at $700 per box? Maybe a couple hundred more to account for low numbered variation parallels, low numbered Skenes stuff, anything I overlooked.

Just don't see the value at $700

If underlying value is this low, then I flip all day
I'm not gonna disagree with math. Would I rip this for $700. No way. This is why singles are the way to go.

But at what point do people who love to rip or jump into breaks say no? When EV is 20% of cost? 10%? This is really one of the driving questions for the market. But that's even assuming the market is somewhat rational/logical.

Throw in that ppl love that chase/gambling and others have FOMO and that can sustain the market for awhile.
