We have the same in this hobby where companies can produce a card early in the morning, and as long as it's limited numbers are hyped, it's touted as a "rookie", or any other supposed importance you can think of is greatly exaggerated, they'll get tens of thousands of dollars for it in the afternoon. So is it the art critics that are morons.... or we collectors?
