They don't have to buy boxes? How many kids do you know that can go into a hobby shop and pay $15-50 per pack?

I'm not even going to get into the troubles with retail and how it takes advantage of kids dollars.

Collecting singles will never grow the hobby. A boy wants a treasure hunt.

The bowman thing to me is crazy. I’ve watched so many breaks on YouTube and they get 1 no name autograph of a guy who will never play in the majors and some common rookies. I have no idea what’s driving the price on that. Frankly even some of the high end stuff I’m left scratching my head at how anyone makes money without being really lucky. I guess one great card balances out the bunch of expensive crappy boxes that don’t have anything.
