Black Friday Hits, Packs Land on eBay

No doubt some of the cards landed in personal collections, where they’ll stay for awhile.  However, a lot of buyers quickly became sellers, hoping to flip their unwanted Black Friday cards for a profit on eBay.

The packs flew out of stores with high traffic.  Mike Fruitman of Mike’s Stadium Sportscards in Aurora, CO, opened late Thanksgiving night.  By Friday night, he reported his stock of more than 1,000 packs was gone.
