I collect Chicago teams and just realized I've been picking up a lot of Kevin White cards worth some money - just because Beckett says so and for no reasons connected to Reality. He has done nothing related to NFL play. How are his cards worth anything at all? I'm apparently as dumb as the card companies and Beckett think we are.

IT IS CRAZY TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE INVEST. THE FUN AND THE EXCITEMENT, THUMP THE COST. FROM JANUARY TO MARCH I SPENT ABOUT $300.00 ON EBAY ALONE. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LCS & POSTAGE FROM TRADES AND MONTHLY TRADE CLUB. TO THIS DAY, WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING.

In my opinion, this is driven by two factors.

The first is he is a high draft pick at a skilled position.

The second, and most impactful, is the team he is on. There are a few teams that are national brands. This means they're draft picks will maintain the hype of potential for longer.

Bears, Cowboys, Packers, Raiders, Steelers, Pats, and Giants have the national following to keep the hype and value up for high draft pick at a skilled position.

For example, Aaron Rodgers cards kept decent value while he sat on the bench for two years. On the other hand, if White was drafted by Jacksonville, his cards would be half the value that they do right now.

Yeah, skill position players at the high rounds are going to take more. Dante Fowler was a defensive guy, and even his prices stayed pretty high considering.
