Well it's a stunning deal for you of course if you get one in your boxes (as I'd say you had a 40-50% chance of doing so than you can always trade with newbies or people who didn't buy boxes!

The cost of these cards is shocking... people who bought cases (including me) are quietly weeping to themselves!)

I think I will be holding off pre-ordering the next set now

This is a case of people buying up loads of cases in the hope of a quick turn around and nice fat profit.

Unfortunately with the oversupply of cases and the flooded market cards are selling cheaply.

And you  are getting a lot of product dumped at cheap prices. I personally if I had excess would ride out of the oversupply and wait to the market settles down.

I hate that these cards are going for so cheap...

From a collectors point of view it is good because you can pick some nice costumes up for a low price as well as some autos (and it keeps getting lower) but then the props and costumes that are out of 800 or above are expensive, not to mention some of the auto's which are very expensive.

If you purchased boxes or case(s), like myself, I think it is reasonably disappointing to most, especially if u pull a costume like the lupin one that just sold for $4.00US, from a box that cost $50US, it gets very annoying!!

I personally am really disappointed that these cards are going for a cheaper price, they are great cards and for box and case buyers, it is ending up a nightmare unless you pull one or more of the big 4 autos.

This may be the case for some, but nobody (collector or otherwise) in their right mind thinks it's great to spend £1000 on cases for maybe £250 worth of cards, we'd all have waited and bought the cards singly if we'd known - it's not about "turning a fast profit" but about getting some measure of good value for money
