I wouldn't have wanted one for myself, but I wouldn't have minded being this clever duck

"Empty card albums, which have sold out in supermarkets, are also being scalped online. One eBay seller has reaped more than $3000 in four days. "I am absolutely stunned what people are paying," he said.

The scalper bought 50 of the $5 albums last Thursday and has been re-selling them online for $70. "I think it's pressure from their children. I am exploiting the laziness of parents who couldn't be bothered buying them earlier," he said."

one ebayer is asking $1000 for a full album

So, as I said I got in early and got 2 full sets and albums for grandkids.  But in getting those

full sets I did get over 100 spare cards.  Thinking of band wagons right now for spares.

I have no qualms - I did get them legit
