Good post--and you are right, although there are similarities this is significantly different from the 90's bubble. I worked in a baseball card shop after school in the 90's. You had a bunch of local fly by nights buying up Phil Plantier and Dante Bichette cards thinking they were going to live on the interest in retirement! It was pretty funny. The day trading culture, Sneaker Heads, the marketing, the connectivity--and of course, like him or not the Gary Vee's of the world bring a whole new theatrical element to sports card collecting. It will be interesting to see how things shake out in the next 3 years or so. I expect LeBrons and Jordans to continue to set records along with Messi, Pele, Gretzky, etc to continue to rise to absurd levels. Man i miss the days of walking into a card shop and buying a quality or high grade rookie for $20!
