Whether a card keeps a premium is dependent on 1) the driving anomaly factor remaining in perpetuity (this clown paying the fortune for them) and 2) if hobbyists try to keep pumping the card after.
It helps Titus that a lot of people jumped in on the bandwagon, made it a meme card, and his premium was relatively modest. Titus wasn't $2K.
I personally doubt anyone else is going to be stupid enough to pay anywhere near these thousands for a common card of a common player. Factor 1 is unlikely to remain for very long.

I agree we should revisit the topic in a month, or whenever we find out what's going on. He bought 4 more on eBay today. $8000 best offer accepted for a small color shift nothing burger. Why is he haggling like me on the bst offering $11 for a T218 track and field card when the seller wants $15?
