Crack and resubmit to your local card show to buy more cards. That is funny.

Guaranteed not to drop below PRESENT DAY $100? I don't think so!

I wonder if PSA will grade those? And will a PSA 10 carry a premium over a 9?

There was an article in a 1997 Baseball Beckett about the then new concept of 1/1 inserts. The author was wondering what could top that and jokingly(?) suggested using $100 bills as random inserts. I guess Topps ran with that idea, huh?

PS: If anyone knows which Beckett that article is from I'd sure appreciate it.

That is so friggin' tacky.

I saw last year where a guy pulled the 500 dollar bill, that is actually worth ALOT of money...more than 500!

Is each card worth $33.33?

It's a folded up bill.

Sound insert for Topps, I can see them doing this with all their high end products now. Nothing like paying $250 for a box of Topps Sterling and pulling a Kevin Maas Auto Letter Patch, a redemption card for Prospect #30 and the big hit, a $100 bill insert card.

I'd pay $100 even in a GEM coffin!

<< <i>A insert that is guaranteed to not drop below $100 >>

I wouldn't guarantee that.

Unfortunately, I cannot elaborate as some may view it as a political comment and I don't wanna go *poof*

So that's all I got to say about that.

Wouldnt pulling cash out of a pack violate some kind of gambling law?

Buying packs of cards has basically been gambling for almost 20 yrs now, but since cards have no actual value, it really didnt matter. But real currency?

Legal experts, let me hear you.

That's an interesting point, since "cards have tangible monetary value" was the card industry's defense when they were challenged in court over their practice of inserts and "chase" cards several years ago. Now that they're putting actual cash inside, that defense goes out the window. I suppose it could still be viewed as a sweepstakes, similar to when Pepsi put cash inside winning cans of soda a while back.
