So true. I've been watching one for at least five years. Every year or two the eBay museum director (won't say "eBay seller", since he isn't really selling so much as trolling for a sucker) sends me an offer of some % off. Sorry, but 10% off of absurd is still ridiculous.
Trade cards are funky. The imprints are more or less irrelevant, though some can be more interesting than others. I collected European trade cards of boxers and the branding variations from the candy stores and bakeries that used them was just impossible to finish. I think some are really, really undervalued.
