I don’t know what shocks me more that the shipping is $40 bucks or somebody still has a case of these books

10 cases! Shipping is $76 for me, which is nutso!

I know a guy with a case of 500 X-O 0s or something along those lines. He bought them new and it's still sealed. He just can't bring himself to sell them at a reasonable price.

Yeah but what is a reasonable price to you? Less than 50 cents a copy? He may be wishfully wanting to get cover price for them at some point or recoup whatever his original cost was on them. If he never sells them then he can can claim to never take a loss on them, haha!

Full cases of early 90s drek is still very common. I get a kick out finding these cases in old dealer's stock because these books are approaching 30 years old! And still worth next to nothing, lol

Agreed! I have a sealed case of Valiant Era cards. I couldn’t pass it up, but the box has Valiant printed all over it.

What’s even crazier is that people have bought some of these from the seller. If the price was $20 or less shipped I might consider buying them and using them as fire starters :P
