Of course, the card companies don't really "believe" that it's better that the great unwashed masses can now afford to own a "piece of history." They certainly didn't invent the "game=used memorabilia card" in order to provide that opportunity for the majority of us. This argument was presented by them to counter the criticism that they were destroying irreplaceable historic artifacts.

The only thing these companies actually believe--and they know this from experience==is that placing these cards randomly in packs results in larger sales; sales large enough to much more than pay for the game-used items which they destroy.
