Topps released two cards of the Chicago native last Thursday and quickly sold out, with 133,535 cards sold as of Monday afternoon, an all-time record for any non-sports card by the company. That’s impressive no matter what, but it’s even moreso after learning the price-per-card was $8.99 (with discounts for bulk orders).
The secondary market for cards has, predictably, seen a sharp rise in prices, given how quickly they sold in the primary market. Ebay is already seeing sold listings with price tags of $175. (Savy Ebay shoppers can find the card for under $30, however.)
Those have yet to sell out.
