I agree with you, but I think the key word is
people. I think that's exactly what will happen - this will disgust some
people enough that they sell off and exit the hobby. I'm not sure how that's a bad thing though. I think this really only applies to flip collectors - they only cared about the value and gains. They were
people, not true hobbyists or collectors. Yeah, maybe this drives away some of the collectors too, but I think it will drive away more investors than anything and I think that is a good thing. I'm in this as a hobby, not an investment. If the value of my cards rise, that is great. If the value falls, that's fine too. If the latter happens (and it very well could), maybe I'll have the opportunity to afford some cards that I couldn't before.
