But if he has Alabama cards for 2 or 3 years, will collectors be kind of tired of his college stuff by then?
I think the best answer to that is:
Look at the veteran cards from Panini Contenders Draft Picks and Prizm Draft Picks - does anyone actually care about those?
Unless a player wins a Heisman Trophy or a National Title, their college autos are always going to have limited appeal - the number of college teams is so much higher than the number of pro teams meaning that the fan base will be smaller. Even the most popular college teams have relatively small fan bases - and even the people who simply want to collect good players tend to prefer the pro uniforms to the college uniforms.
Outside of Alabama fans, most collectors looking for Bryce Young would move on to the NFL teams because hte NFL has a bigger market and the NFL teams have more fans than even the most popular college team.
Even with top players, their college uniform cards go for less than their NFL uniform cards
The college uniform cards however do lead to good values.
