Not only that, they got the ONE they wanted when the cards came out 20 years ago.

Back when they came out, 1991 Upper Deck French Hockey was the hottest thing since the proverbial sliced bread! They were going for "Strasburgian" prices. Then when Upper Deck saw the prices the cases were bringing, they opened up the printing presses and made billions of the cards (basically the same thing they supposedly did with the 1989 Ken Griffey Jr card). Then when the glut of cards hit the market, prices plummeted into the sewer, where they remain to this day.

Same thing happened with the first Skybox basketball set. It was hotter than the Devil's playground, but when the dust settled, Skybox had overproduced the cards, resulting in supply severely outstripping demand.
