Depends what the card is, really. New releases, patches, high end and super star rc's get what they're supposed to, while other cards are let go of to get cash flowing. You may be able to get book value on these cards, but you have to be patient. If we're talking about the world's biggest flea market, your going to have 100,000 sellers willing to cut each others throat to get a sale and move inventory, because they most likely depend on that income. But as it's already been stated, a card is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.
