+1 For this. I mean, really, what is the point of rare editions? Let me know if I got this right - if one would like to increase profit with special edition cards, he/she would set a higher price for these cards, e.g. White Monarchs, at let's say $15-20 or give them for free with purchases over $50 (which is completely fair and legit). But, if these cards cost the same as all the other cards, then, what is the profit there? Someone would sell them on eBay for a much higher price, but where is your profit there?
Just imagine Apple selling white edition of iPhone in limited quantities. It would cost the same as the black one, but it would be rare. Silly, isn't it? Everybody wants to have the white iPhone, so they enable anyone to have it. I believe it's the same with these cards (not just White Monarchs, but all the other limited editions, like B/W Centurions and others...). These cards look great (a true piece of beauty, really) and many people would like to have them. Why making it such a big deal to get one of these? I understand that there are certain strategies of marketing and selling, but I really can't get my head around this one.
If someone could please clarify this one for me, I would mostly appreciate it. Thanks.
Cheers
