$22,000 case of 2016 Topps Transcendent 65th Baseball Cards
Forums:
I'm not into collecting but saw this online and found it interesting.
Apparently they have these things called "case breaks" where they open the case live on YouTube.
I guess there were only 65 of these cases made. All sold very quickly when on sale.
Anyway, you can buy "bids" which will get you one item from the case. I watched two breaks I thought the best thing was the first item (the case topper). These are signatures of important people in our history or culture.
I was checking out to see when the next break was and how much a bid would be when I came across a list of the case toppers.
Jerry Garcia is one of them and has not been revealed yet!

Collecting baseball cards
Collecting baseball cards appears to be a relatively risky business.
At least old coins can hold value for the price if the metal that they're made of, respectively.

Thanks for the link Betsy. Having a hard time copying and pasting.
Definitely expensive for a chance at a cool card.
Wouldn't mind having a few of those case toppers!

But if there are only 65 cards it's worth $140 in due time I imagine. I still have a hard time following what a "hit" means. Are you guaranteed a card?

It looks like there are 168 cards in a case. Then an invitation to some party in Vegas. And then the case from what I understand.
They sell 170 "bids" per case. So each "bid" will get either a card, invitation, or the case it came in. From what I can figure out, about 115 of the cards in the case are just "standard" cards. Probably not worth much.
All the other stuff I would assume would fetch a decent price. Or most of them.
Not sure completely. Just trying to figure it out myself. Lol.
