1). That is subjective. But logoman cards are the single most popular cards among ultra-modern basketball collectors, and many love how they look.

3). Tell me you have no clue about modern cards without telling me. Upper Deck Exquisite is the absolute peak set for popularity and desire of basketball cards EVER. It is considered the top of the basketball mountain.
4). See above. Every single high end modern basketball collector right now has nostalgia for UD Exquisite logomen. The nostalgia for Exquisite is what fuels the ultra modern Panini RPA craze with sets like Flawless and NT, and is the reason why Fanatics is now inserting logoman patches in Baseball sets. As the licenses migrate to Fanatics, they will continue to play to the basketball/football market's demand for these cards. Why? All because of the insane popularity and nostalgia for mid 2000s Exquisite.

Thanks for your response. These are fair points. Here is my reply:
1) In my opinion, it is an ugly card. Let me cite the T206 Lajoie (With Bat) for comparison.
2) In my opinion, it is hard to decipher the signatures. Let me cite Harmon Killebrew's signature for comparison.
3 & 4) I don't believe that "UD Exquisite logomen" has achieved status in the hobby anywhere near N172, T206, 1933 Goudey or 1952 Topps. Or any other Topps set for that matter. I have never heard of it until you mentioned it. But I don't rule-out that "UD Exquisite logomen" might be more popular. Let's take a poll!
And I certainly do not think that collecting and investing are mutually exclusive!
