I have a cousin who is one of the larger shiny basketball card dealers and the only thing I can compare it to is fad collecting. Some of these cards he has come from packs that cost $50+ (WTF?), and are worth $20,000 today...next year the next Lebron James comes around and last years cards lose their value.

This is the way it was in the mid-nineties when all the baseball companies started pumping out the inserts, they were all the hot cards...until something new came out.

I was talking to my cousin about the National and he does a brisk business, and when we talk about cards he doesn't really understand my collecting...but I don't understand his world either.
