Basically what happened on Tuesday were numerous corporate addresses by manufactures that included interesting facts and give-aways for their products. The Panini Black Box was given away and you can expect many of the cards (and boxes) to end up on eBay - so you might have a shot even if you weren't in Vegas.

Tweet #1...Last year I paid $28,430 on eBay fees....
— Brent Williams (@brentandbecca) March 19, 2013

Tweet #3...with NEW fees and using fee chart on eBay my fees would go up to over $40K with same sales numbers, WOW!!
— Brent Williams (@brentandbecca) March 19, 2013

Those numbers come directly from eBay,,,, geez,,, but some will have way tougher time like those whose avg sales prices are $100-$1000-$5000
— Brent Williams (@brentandbecca) March 19, 2013

saying all of this, ebay is still a great place as none have the traffic and many still charge well north of 9% fees

Even if Onyx has the cards made and signed the MLBPA can tell them to remove a player like Yelich. #LVIS
