So many collectors get infatuated with "HOT" players. Jeremy Lin cards all shot up last year. But have cooled off and dropped. He is still a good player, but the excitment has dropped off. This year they have Kyrie. Great player and his stuff I think will always sell well, but next year or the year after there will be someone else that gets the interest of the masses.
He is going to continue to give you 20 pts and 7 or 8 assists a night, but so does Dwyane Wade and look at Carmelo's numbers? No one is dying to collect either one of those guys cards.
Collecting is a fad for a lot of people. Prices are high for awhile and then reach reality a few years later. Sometimes a lot sooner. People are dying to get RC's at the beginning of the year, "just in case" a player breaks out. Then as the year goes on, you can't give most of them away.
