Will it ever be too much?

As long as people will go nuts for it, I'm not sure that there are any limits.

Certainly in the current environment, when it comes to these players, there's no shortage of demand. And when it comes to something they wore on the field, this manufactured rarity as a chase card will certainly help to move a lot of merchandise and get people buying boxes.

You could pretty much have predicted this the moment Fanatics took over the card/memorabilia licenses from MLB, MLBPA, NBA, NBPA and NFLPA. You are going to see the proliferation of gimmicks like this, an increasing number of parallels of base cards, and high tier clubs for collectors willing to shell out the membership fee (Card-a-Lago?)

I just also noticed that Fanatics has a Sportsbook/casino. It is only a matter of time before we have a huge gambling scandal in one of the major sports.

I've never been so happy to be focusing solely on vintage. The modern collecting world is a monument of style over substance.

I'm much more ok with this sort of thing than cutting up old uniforms or bats or whatever.
