I feel like there are a few things this applies to besides cards. Real estate comes to mind; I have relatives out near Vail, and the joke out there is that the billionaires are driving out the millionaires. If they hadn't bought several years ago, there's no way they could live there now. My mom grew up on the East Coast and can remember when much of Cape Cod was still small farming and fishing villages; now it's a playground for people who use summer as a verb.
