Those of you old enough to remember game shows from the 80's might recognize the reference when we're all at the store opening packs, especially higher priced ones and chanting

Verified Trader,
Not sure which is worse that or someone telling me you WILL overpay for it....Of course I bought 1 on ebay for less and perhaps another around the same price...(Derrick Pouliot auto)...I understand saying that for a card that might sell for 400.00 but not one that sells for less than 20.00
