Yeah that is interesting. I find it difficult to believe that Topps would sell direct to vendors when their agreement extended a co-braand to Denny's, that's a bit uncommon. He also has a very low markup of only $1.68 per pack. Compare that to other auctions; I saw one guy selling 10 packs for $100, that's an insane markup. I don't really care for the cards much, but I'm waiting to see what the movie cards look like once they hit shelves.
I checked the area that those cards ship from (Greenville, South Carolina) and there is one Denny's there. I wonder if an employee there hasn't sold them to a vendor in violation of policy to sell no more than 4 per person per visit for paying customers only. Maybe an employee there stole them. Or maybe someone literally eats there every day with others and asked for the boxes too.
I don't know. What do you think?
