If/when Acuna starts breaking into that top group of players--whether it be through his play or his popularity (I think he's knocking on the MLB door now), then all his stuff is going to rise. It's kind of like a video going viral...once it hits the critical mass, the surge takes the market over the top.
I totally disagree with this. Just like there are good players and bad players, there are also good cards and bad cards for each player. Especially with Acuna where there are literally hundreds of different RCs to choose from. Yes, everyone that bought into Trout a few years ago has done well. Those that bought into Update are certainly a lot happier than those that bought into BCD (for example).
