Default Upside-down airplanes, double dies, ghost images, spelling errors, small dates, etc.

Spelling errors that are not corrected carry no demand. If the error is correct, then there will always be a demand for both card as there will alawys be people that are trying to build master sets.

I don't really see the rookie card phenomena going away. There will always be a big demand for the first card of a player. Color variations and print error/ghost images will always be a niche market. Back variations probably aren't going to explode or decline. We are seeing a big surge in t206 back prices because the set is readily accessable and loved by most, so once you complete the basic set, the next logical step to keep feeding the addiction is to start getting as many backs as you can. There are a ton of back variations in the Diamond Star set, but no one beyond the master set collectors really cards which back they get. This is true of almost all other sets outside of t206s.

Growing old is not optional, growing up is.
