Me and a buddy were talking about sports cards as we occasionally do and the topic of long term value came up. After some talking the idea of players only having licensed cards produced during the span of their career came up. What do you guys think of this idea?
In my opinion personally, It seems like legendary players values in modern day cards have been little no none aside from a handful of players. So many "SSP" and auto cards of hall of fame players can be had for little to nothing With the implementation of this rule, this would increase the demand of a specific players cards and also maintain their value more so long term. The reasoning behind this came up because players like Tom Brady are likely going to have cards made of him for the rest of history...so another 50 years worth of Superfractors, autos, and short prints coming out ...what's the value of them really going to be in the end? Everyone who wants one will have one because there will be so many even as a Chase card in each years set. If we cut off the production of players cards when they retire, maybe aside from Hall of Fame inductee sets every year for those who are inducted, i could see this being a good way to maintain collectability. Not only in a value aspect, this would also free up the card producers to have more money to be able to produce autographs and such of EVERY player in the league that year. No more missing linemen, ECT.
This wasn't something I spend much time thinking over so if there are some major negatives or positives you see in this idea if it were to take place, feel free to drop your opinion down below. I'm very curious to see what you guys think!
