I agree that prices for Strasburg cards say little about the vintage card market.

And, while I would never criticize someone for spending his money as he sees fit, regardless whether a collector or speculator, I just cannot fathom that modern "chase" cards, which are valuable only because of contrived limited supply, will retain their value over time.

Even if Strasburg becomes the real deal (I've attended both of his home starts and he looks overpowering to me), I think my point still holds. Over time, there will be boatloads of Strasburg cards, including autograph cards and game-used cards, you name it. I just can't see how any particular card or cards will remain so much more valuable than all the others.
