Yes, this is the main thing that I think would be possible if you only need to monitor a "small" group of 2000-2500. It would be fairly easy to see where non-human like behavior is coming from and if that IP has several non-humans going at it.
Though I do think a $10k buy in club makes some sense I think all it would do is funnel all product back to distributors who as mentioned will just have their employees sign up for the buy in. This would also make us all mini-distributors and leave our exposure at all time highs. Overproduction and then a collapse would all most likely happen again. I'm sure Topps has internal notes on their 90's Member's Only and can figure out ways to make this one better. I would highly suggest to cap membership because that seemed to be the doom of the Member's Only in the 90's - too much supply and not enough demand. As is, seems like the Club membership is willing to absorb all of the production run. Hope they can find a way for all of us to stick around for years and years to come.
