Not sure this one belongs here, it might just be I am going color blind, or that I could never afford to live in the Netherlands…

This isn't an ebay auction but here will do
If you're going to pay £22,000 I reckon they could make it free shipping!

They are double boxed, and use 33% more bubble wrap than called for - that all adds up.

I understand some old books in Sweden used some Gutenberg Bible pages were ripped apart and used as inside cover linings for other books...Maybe something like that is going on here?

On anti-crack if anyone wants to grab it.

I and others have paid $400 for this set in the past. Learn from our woes.

That is quite the quad - I have three sets and if that one were much cheaper I’d have four ;)

Of course, I don’t have that fancy plaque display that Kevork was a lucky enough duck to pluck.

You could just satisfy yourself with what appears to be the best of the set IMO, for a mere $27

Ok - how much crack do you need to smoke to take an offer below this insanely low asking price?

I've encountered a few situations like that. Usually someone who no longer collects and hasn't collected for quite some time, just looking to recoup costs and not wanting to spend time researching pricing. That's a steal. I've told myself I wouldn't pursue these but if I had seen that listing, it would've been mine.

Insanely low asking price? lel. It's £125 for two decks of cards. It's more crack-ish what some collectors deem a reasonable price for Minty decks. Not saying Minty-nerds are cream of the crop in that regard but they are beneath the top dogs for sure.

They were nearly £60 each when new and there's only 50 of each; I'd say it's a very good price considering.

There are slightly more than 100 of each out there -- he sold a few leftover decks later (that's how I got one) without the bag (which I had never seen until that post above!)

And yeah, that's a wildly low price for these decks IMO
