Sheeple are a strange breed.A brainless strange breed.

If you have the money and want the card, I don’t see any problem with it at all. People that assume everyone in the hobby is in it for an investment drive me crazy.

I will never say a card is not worth an amount that is actually paid for it. Cards listed at crazy prices can be stupid, but if it is bought and paid for, I have no problem with it

It is what it is. Supply and demand. Emphasis on demand.

If people want to “buy high” than so be it.

But I agree, if people think the card will hold its value (or grow)…..it might in the short term, but doubtful in the long run.

I have no problems with it.

I don’t think the card producers should do anything about it. It’s the secondary market that’s driving these prices. There’s always anomalies out there. This is just one of them.

I bet the price drops by the end of March.

I don’t follow basketball, and I don’t pretend to understand the excitement over Jeremy Lin. But right now, the guy has people excited – even ones that don’t normally pay attention to the sport.

That means high (for now, anyway) prices for his cards. Are people who overpay going to be disillusioned if (when) the value plummets? Sure. So are all the people running out to buy jerseys and t-shirts if Lin can’t live up to the “Linsanity” hype.

But if Mr. Lin turns out to be a true superstar, think of all the people he could be bringing into the hobby. Would that really be a bad thing?

Supply and Demand, right? What makes a $100 card worth 10x more than a $10 card? I would say that it’s because SOMEONE out there wants it 10x as much. Same thing here — someone REALLY wants it. Maybe they won’t want it that much later, but they want it that much now.
