It does deliver a lot of shortprints, and some of the rookie autos are worth a few hundred - one of the highest next to the cup/limited/ultimate...so that's probably why....one of my LCS had them for $119.99 at release...they're now up to $134.99...they've gone up...I guess due to demand, and they probably didn't make as many boxes/cases as they do of donruss one or opeechee for example. I'm willing to bet all the cases are out there, none left at panini, so that's probably driving up cost for still sealed boxes.
I'm trying to collect all the Erik Karlsson heir to the throne cards from CR...I have 19 of the 250 so far, and I've seen about 50 of them overall on "buy it now" auctions on ebay....so judging by that alone, I would say close to half the boxes have probably been cracked already

yes, but when the range in one city is 40$ that store wont make any dough
ill just go to shop with 100$ boxes and i can get the same thing and a pack for the price of 1 box?

Unfortunately; the last store, more than likely sold out of his stock and now has to get it from the secondary market to resupply as Panini did sell out of Crown. The other two stores still have some of their earlier stock left. Once they run out, if they want to bring it back in they will have to charge pretty much the same.

I will explain how my Local card store work (not mine). Let say the owner do a pre-release reservation of one case. Then the product is out and they sold like candy in his store but not other. So the box that was plan to sell at 104 will now raise when he try to order more case. Then the price is up because demand is more then expected.
A good example was the Montreal Canadian Centenial release, the hobby boxes in Quebec were all sold everywhere and fast. Then maybe they could only order half a case because there was not enough in the warehouse. After a week, no one could buy a case anymore and the shop reverted to buy some retail product to keep selling it. That did drive demand up and retail price up. Forget about hobby in montreal region and the only good sport to buy was at the Canadian official shop that kept the price at 81$ for a retail box.
That can explain the difference. They mark the price according to what they paid for them. Some may also be more gready too. Canada is even worse as you have the border and when demand is very high, it take time to travel...
Also Panini product, no shop owner had any idea how it would sell and be received, no number from last year. Some may have been under-evaluting the popularity of certain brand.Last edited by CoolHandLuke; 06-18-2011 at 04:57 PM.

I started selling them at 110 taxes in. After a couple weeks the distributor charges more and I had them at $115 each. Now there has been a huge jump and if I bring them in they are around $145-150 each. It happened with Certified and Series 2 as well this year.

I think I paid $120 at the expo.
Like everyone has said - Crown Royal has been crazy popular, and any distributors that have it left are marking it up. LCS has to mark it up after that, so they still make their profit.
