Well, you and I may think that, but don't forget we're now dealing with a lot of younger flippers/investors who are looking for even the slightest advantage, like a hot stock tip. And what are you doing being a bit contrarian with me?
You know as well as I do there are always going to be some people coming out of the woodwork when something good or bad happens to famous people/athletes. Just like when someone pretty much everyone knows is a lock for the HOF, you expect their cards to have already been priced at their HOF level long before they ever actually get in. And yet, when the actual election occurs and their induction is confirmed, you still always seem to see a jump in interest and price for the cards/items. Human nature in that there will always be people who need that trigger, like someone's passing, to re-create interest in that person. LOL. Just the way it is.
