I never understand this with cards. I must be wrong but I don't know why. Only thing I can think of is heavy majority >90% of cards are being bought and then resold in next couple years. So the collectors who eat up cards forever hurting supply are very small and insignificant.

I'm convinced "recent sales" is a factor. So many people look to recent sales to determine how much they should spend for a card. While the supply shrinks, there's so many people out there that think, "This card sold for $XXX dollars, so I'm not going to pay more for this one."
Even with the shrinking supply, people have to be willing to spend more.
