yes I can understand his point there. They are expensive to buy and unless you have some connection to that player they go down in value pretty quickly. Unless of course you buy a player that is relevant or is historic to the league. The guy I collected was never even a star. Just an average player that has had a pretty long career. My problem with collecting him was that he moved from team to team so much. So I needed to keep buying jerseys.If he had stay with 1 or 2 teams over his career it would not have been so bad..Thanks.
