What i find odd here is that there are a lot of the "normal" comp chess
enthusiasts (including myself) who are willing to pay quite a bit for Hydra
cards, i would go as high as $500-800 per card. With that in mind i don't
understand why they don't make a preoder "survey" where it is understood that
only if the # of people willing to cough up the amount they see fit for mass
producing it, they will release it for people to buy, that way they would make
money on it besides from what they get in sponsor money. Of course if the price
of the cards is as high as mentioned before then i can see why they don't even
consider it :) however i find that haed to believe, any estimates from people
who have an idea?
