    No. Especially when Pujols cards are 30,000 dollars plus.

    I don't think they're over-valued with respect to the scarcity and all that.

    But, at times, I think over-priced - as is all this stuff.

    Once the investors really got involved around 1990, nothing has been the same IMO.

    It was before that, Mike. The investors swarmed the shows in the early 80s but it was around 1990 when they started cashing in on their hordes. That the beginning of the long decline which gave rise to the secondary market of graded cards and the contrived scarcities from the card companies.
