God, do I ever remember the days of the embargo on Legends. Stores in Indianapolis weren't much different -- Comic Carnival had a limit of two packs, per person, per store, per day. That led to a lot of people dragging along friends or family to cajole/bribe into buying packs for them, or store hopping where you'd hit the one on the west side, then the north side, then the east side, then the south side and run through a whole tank of gas to wind up with 8 total packs of cards.

Months after Legends dropped, it was still impossible to find packs, but one guy at a comics convention had them (and was selling them for $10 per pack, which I thought was price-gouging at the time, but hooo boy, today that would be the steal of all steals). I asked how it was possible he had these when no one else did, and he said he'd basically bankrupted himself doing it, but he'd acquired two palettes of them. They were, he advised me, his retirement strategy.

A palette contained 35 cartons. Each carton contained 12 sealed boxes. And each box contained 36 packs of cards. At a time when most of us were limited to 2 packs per person, per day, this guy had managed to come up with over 30,000 packs in one fell swoop, and was making a killing selling them on the convention circuit for much higher than standard retail (which was $2.99 at that point, if I recall correctly).

One palette, he opened entirely to parcel out as individual cards. The other, he sold as individual booster packs. Any sealed booster boxes out there, I would not be surprised if they belonged to this guy, and I hope he's retired somewhere besides Indiana. :)
