Last time I checked, they're not printing any new T206s or 1933 Goudeys next year.
And the chances that Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner or Babe Ruth suffer season-ending ACLs next year are exactly 0%.

They're not printing new 2017 National Treasure RPA's out of 5, 25, or 99 either.
Mahomes collectors, of which there are many many more than Ruth collectors, have a limited number of rookie cards to go after.
Are there many issues etc from the various companies giving various rookie options for that year? Sure, but hardly a drop in comparison to the demand and thus the trade back and forth between those who have, and those who want. The mass released/non-numbered are worth a few dollars and everyone gets one for fun if they like, the limited stuff has the same significance as small back run T206's or other hard to find vintage.
People who mock modern on here have zero clue.
It's like Cobb is some superhero athlete of yore worth silly collecting money, but Jeter or Trout are just shmoes whose rookie cards are mere cardboard.
Guess what everyone.
Both are made of the same material, and todays offerings are no less worthy than those of the distant past.
YOUR interest may be less, but that hardly equates to the modern product being so endlessly shit-trucked.
The above is not all directed at you troutbum.
