Can't blame em, but it cracks me up they don't consider the kind of raw unadulterated profit that Lee will have made from this. If he's anything like some of the guys I know he'll have clocked these on mass for about 30 bucks a deck and be shipping them to these fools for 150 and they'll be believing they got the steal of the century, lol.
I don't know why OneCardWonder and Ballero8 is even bothering going on this rampage of insults and but clearly no one can put any form of dignity in them.
Obviously anyone who buys these cards KNOWS what they are, and has a definite reason for buying them. The fact that YOU think that they AREN'T worth $50 is YOUR opinion and you are certainly entitled to it, but trying to convince the rest of the world is futile and honestly, if you think that it's a waste of money it's almost the equivalent of you wasting your time telling us.
I'm sure if I look through your house I can find a ton of crap you bought that is probably worthless in almost anyone's eyes. And I can almost guarantee you spent more than merely $50 on that particular item.

Because I have an old frame that's older than that and they don't make frames like that anymore. You want to buy it for $300?
Hmm, you seem to be a little slow I think. Honestly..
That is excactly what i'm talking about man. They have been stored for over 30 years, and yes, that makes them valuable. Your old frame probably doesn't have a HISTORY, like the Nuggets. Or even IF your frame had a story, it wouldn't be interesting to us.. Maybe to "frame-collectors" is would..
A deck of Nugget's also doesn't look like something worth 200$ to people that doesn't know anything about cards.. But to card collectors, they ARE valuable. You really try to deny it, and I fail to see why. You're just not a card collector. Thats cool. But then you should stop wasting your time in all these threads, and find a forum about old frames..
They aren't buying them on ebay either. A friend of mine is a very serious card collector and he hasn't paid more than 30 bucks for a deck of Nuggets and he has a ridiculous number of decks of them, as an investment so he can e-bay them to people like you.
......You believe that the price on the web reflects the true market price of the cards, and that's just not the case. It just reflects the price that people can con the niaive out of the cards.
Hype is hype, everyone falls into it at some point. But your black and white view shows a lack of open-mindedness. My only suggestion to you is to travel and see the world. Realize the hypocricy of us all, and humble yourself.
A handfull of months ago I prepared for and 'won' a 1st edition ghost deck.
Am I a douche? Am I a fool? Am I a sucker? Am I a victim?
I could care less about the 'special' deck, I sold that bad boy for $150.
Which would make me a $150 richer douche/fool/sucker/victim.
I participated, and made money. I took advantage of an opportunity. How foolish of me.
I'm saying, I took advantage of the situation.
Everything anyone does is taking advantage of everyone(take a few minutes to think about that).
Try to be more humble.
