I think you read it wrong. He meant he spent hundreds of dollars and gave up those 2 cards, presumably in a trade.
In any case, this thread is why I don't do prospects. It costs me more, sure. But at least I don't end up with a whole bunch of stuff I don't even want. I don't collect as an investment, so I am glad I'm not trying to "beat the market".
