This is good for the hobby. People are interested in baseball cards again and that means younger and younger kids will get involved. No one starts out collecting pre-war cards. But everyone starts out collecting the cards of their day. So in my opinion, this card will garner a whole new group of young people who may or may not continue their collecting endeavors.
As far as manufactured rarity, it's nothing new to the hobby. Look at the Lajoie Goudey.
