That's 5628 to 8442 cards per year not including base!

Sure, that's an over exaggeration for autos and not every set has parallels that high, but sheesh....is there really a viable long term market for even say 1000-2000?

At what point to some of these people collecting parallels and rainbows with some hope of future value start looking at their massive pile of ultra modern parallels / autos and realize the emperor has no clothes?


If you're picking up a couple here and there and they are ones you enjoy to look at and dont care about appreciation, you're in a pretty good spot. But my impression with a lot of ultra modern buyers is that is simply not the case.
In 20+ years, I can only image the amount of people who will have 3200 ct boxes filled with various non-numbered and higher numbers parallels thinking its worth thousands.
Very similar to how people find out those junk-wax era collections they are trying to sell off are filled with worthless stuff.

I wasn't collecting during those "junk wax" days but you can't deny similarities.
