Why is there almost always a huge lull in baseball from april til july?

I think most baseball card investors are advanced enough to buy during the offseason and start unloading as people get hot.

I have noticed annually that as long as nobody is hitting 15 home runs in april, baseball cards are pretty much dead until July or later, when stats start to build up, even though the season is going full steam.

Also, full game no-hitters get halted by coaching decisions early in the season.

Is it because people are waiting for basketball playoffs to end?

Or is the real baseball card flipping season during the offseason now?
