Many people do it for the significance of the time. Jeremy Lin broke records during that first 7-8 game stretch. Some records that greats like Stockton, Magic Johnson and other HOF PG didn't have. Others buy it for potential profit. Say you bought his RC for $100 after the fourth game. If you would have immediately flipped it on eBay, you could have profited $50. Now, say he goes on another tare, they make the playoffs and beat a good team like the Heat or Bulls (NOT going to happen, just hypothetical), depending on his performance and significance to the wins, his cards may go up again, so you can either get your money back or make a small profit. What he did was historic. And for an unknown to do something historic has the potential for them to be a star in this league. Also, you have to remember, Jordan's RC was/is more readily available. When you compare that to a National Treasures RPM /25, yes the NT will sell for more.
