Sportkings Series E - (2) 16-box cases from Master
 

I will start by saying that I have always thought SK was nice looking. But I just don't see this holding at $80 a box (direct price). You have to pull the most amazing Cut, Patch, or Painting card to make your case price back.

I was able to make a base set from the 2 cases and was an "N" short on the premium cards of spelling out SPORTKINGS twice.

Part of the "le" from an A's jersey...Dave Stewart (Beautiful card but why Dave Stewart???)

Nice hit on the Cut and the Vitale :D

Why Dave Stewart, Ouch, Dave Stewart is a badass of a pitcher who totally deserves to be in the product then again that's just my opinion as an A's fan, anyway pm a price on it if you're moving it and a scan to please. thx

This stuff puts a buyer in an interesting situation. At $84 I cannot sell sealed and make money and if I rip at this price considering the breaks odds are Im going to get killed. I have 48 boxes and no way out. Darnit Sportkings....

Just like every other Sports Card Case Gamble/Investment - :D

Think about it 12,000 boxes @ $100 each retail = $1,200,000
Cost to manufacture, buy swatches, autos, 250+ Jared Kelly Art Cards, shipping, distribution, packaging, etc. = 40% $480,000 (est)
Dr. Price Should make a little for all his work = $100,000
Distributor Makes $12 a box a little $144,000

Leaves $476,000 worth of value as compared to retail, so you can expect to make about 40% or less back on average. We all know it's a gamble.
