Peter,

I fully know that, and I hate that part of the hobby has essentially turned into some gamified version of the stock market.

I don't consider it a part of the hobby, it is it's own entity.

When Upper Deck perfected the chase card in 1989 (or was it 1990) it caused me to mostly stop buying cards in packs, and aimed me backwards (more than I had been), so I thank them for helping me accumulate a lot of cool old stuff, most of which isn't worth much, but sure is fun.

As an example, I discovered a new Bobby Doerr m114 variation today. Woohoo!

I think 1991 was the first autograph inserts but may be recalling wrong.

Greater fool theory.
