It's a weird long-time thing. I remember when Mike Darr died (car wreck) and people were snapping up his cards at crazy big prices on EBay. That was 2002 even before Spring Training got going beyond pitchers/catchers reporting. He wasn't even a hot prospect even if he wasn't trash.
Some people seem to grieve by buying stuff, even if it's going to be near worthless within months and nearly forgotten in years. I don't understand it, but it keeps repeating itself.
