Consider the case of the 2002 LeBron cards. His very first PLC (Professionally Licensed Card), and the UD Inspirations or whatever it's called is serially #d IIRC. Yet people flock to the 03 TCR, I wonder why? We gonna try to outsmart the market when it comes to the combination of collectability criteria including the ultimate criterion, eye appeal?
Why, again, does the 52T Mantle maintain its market presence vis a vis the 51B?
edit: no '02 Bron issues are auto'd. Limited serially #ing of the UD doesn't change that fact. The '03 Finest blows away the '02 in eye appeal, and the Gold Refractor variation of the '03F might well be the king of eye appeal, the 03UD UC or Topps Pristine Mini notwithstanding.
