One of the reasons I have not gone absolutely crazy over these buybacks is that people are asking quite a bit for them. I do not feel it is reasonable or necessary to spend more than $10.00 on most of these. I get why people are asking so much for them. They are a one-card-per-box item and it is completely reasonable to expect to get your money's worth for buying a box. It just does not work out that way in real life. Well, I finally found one for a reasonable price and I jumped all over it. This card looks a lot better in person. It is just my second of the 2017 buybacks and I honestly do not expect to get a ton more of these. Maybe if they are of the lesser teams (I would love to find the 2005 Topps Total Rangers card for instance). And if I can find them cheap, I will keep going.
I am having similar issues with the McCutchen buybacks in this year's Archives Active player selection. They are all 1/1s, but many are selling in the $100 range.
