The thing about modern crap that too many glossy card collectors don't understand is that, say, for Albert Pujols -- his cards are already priced as if he was going to be the second coming. There is no room for investment, because if he isn't the second coming, he will be a big disappointment. Why not spend your money on Frank Thomas or Ken Griffey Jr. cards? They're not "hot" anymore, but chances are Pujols awaits a similar fate to Thomas and Griffey in 10 or so years. Boring and over the hill.

If you really want to speculate on modern glossy crap, you have to come up with a Player that no one thinks will be the second coming who then actually turns out to be the second coming. Otherwise, your cards of Albert Pujols will just look very nice next to those George Brett, Robin Yount, Rickey Henderson and Eddie Murray cards that no one cares about.
