Chew on this video and let it digest. Specifically, minutes 16:25 - 17:45. The entire video is informative but watch specifically the times above. And don't discount this guy - he owns and has owned some great cards in our hobby.

I heard the word "manipulation" somewhere just past the 17:45 mark. Pretty crazy stuff. What the guy seems to be saying is that rich people are playing this game. What happens when these rich guys get bored and find out that not everybody is going to play this game. For now, it's pretty sad to see this occur because those people are screwing up a hobby for the average Joe hobbyist. Now if average Joe hobbyist bought a ton of stuff a few years back and sells it now, then average Joe can make a few bucks and hope for the bubble to burst so average Joe can buy it back on the cheap.
