One could easily spend 5 or more points on thief talents:
Locksmith 1
Pickpocket 1
Recognize Value 1
Silent Movement 2
Streetwise 1
Or merchant talents:
Assess Value 1
Business Sense 2
Charisma 2
Driver 1
Recognize Value 1
Or on combat talents:
Most weapons 2
Shield 1
Missile Weapons 1-3
Quick Draw 1
Thrown Weapons 2
Toughness 2-4

But most TFT games don't focus on music enough to make it worthwhile.
If a player is running a bard, it is incumbent upon them and the GM to make certain that it does. Otherwise, it's wasted points.
