Free markets are going to produce addictive products. That is, unfortunately, a reliable path to profits, and the addictiveness of the products on offer "improves" more with each successive year than the human brain's ability to resist them improves with each successive millennium. Baseball cards are one such product for a very small segment of the population, but there are thousands of others that have the same effect on the dopamine channels of much larger numbers of people.
