Default Cards for Aaron Hernandez, OJ, etc.

Seems to me that people shy away from cards and memorabilia for the truly awful athletes who have murdered, done other heinous stuff, etc. Kind of surprises me knowing what I think I know about human nature. People are very fascinated with murderers and evil in general. Hence shows like the Sopranos, Breaking Bad and countless others. Plenty of market for Al Capone pictures, John Gacy paintings, Nazi momentos, etc. Not passing any judgment on it pro or con, just surprised that sports stuff connected to these guys seems to go down in value and not up.
Not looking for a speech about how sick people must be, etc., etc. Just making an observation. (And maybe I'm wrong. Has happened before.)
