If they switch teams mid-career and don't do that - and Pistons, Rockets, Cavs fan don't care about their cards - you're essentially left with just fans of the players specifically collecting and we all know that won't lead to much value traction.

I totally agree with you. It may be OCD but a players rc cards on the wrong team drives me crazy...
I think it depends on a number of variables (see below but not just limited to these examples):

- how you change teams (traded vs. signed, leave with class vs. without class, etc)
- number of different teams you join (less is generally better)
- which teams you join (some have larger fan bases, e.g., LeBron/Ohtani benefited from the LA fan base because they're large/marketed to well and the fans have the money to spend)
