Default Uncatalogued cards

Posted By: jay behrens

The reason people are willing to pay a premium for uncatalogued cards is that they like the idea of owning something that was not known to exist. Once it becomes catalogued, it becomes a known commodity and loses that appeal.

It's sort of like buying the hot new car that comes out and paying a huge premium for it to be able to say that you are the first on the block to own it. Once production catches up to demand, no one cares if you were the first own one and no one is paying a premium for the car anymore.
