Uh yea.. best of luck with that theory.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
It's not a theory. It's reality.<br />
<br />
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there's no difference between an MJ patch 1/1 made in 2008 versus one made in 2035. Both are still patches made after he plays which are all the same and can be made over and over and over increasing supply, lowering demand.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Care to compare MJ's jersey card prices from 2001 to today? Go ahead. Pick up your Beckett and check your 2001 issue for the price of his stuff released in 2001 like some Game Used Warm Ups....<br />
<br />
Price goes down as time goes by and supply increases because they keep making Jordan Game Used everything...<br />
<br />
When the market is really saturated with Jordan's stuff in 10 years, people will start filtering what was made in his playing days versus what was made AFTER his playing days.<br />
<br />
Go ahead, stop reading and check the beckett of how much the GU Shorts are now versus in 2001 when his Game Used Stuff was rare.<br />

<br />
<br />
Let's get one thing straight from the get go. If you really think Beckett is the end all be all for card pricing, then this conversation has ended quicker than it started, and we should both scurry off to ebay-land to notify the millions of ebay sportcard sellers and buyers that they have got it all wrong for not using Beckett as their pricing bible. What were they all thinking?!?!?<br />
<br />
Reality? I'll sum this up nice and easy. The true reality is that it doesn't matter what year the auto/game used is produced. The only area your theory will not fold is his very first auto/game used card and that's it. (Easily referenced by sale prices.)<br />
<br />
Let the man live forever. In the year 2056, it will still be the same legend signing the cards that encase what's left of his game used. No change.<br />
<br />
Bottom line, if your theory (suggestion) held true, why do cards being made up to today generally reflect the same if not more and sometimes ALOT more than his "game playing" days?<br />
<br />
Fact vs opinion here. There are nothing but opinions in here (all great ones) but the "game playing" year cards vs the "retired" year cards isn't a factor. So says the market anyway, which holds more weight than you or I combined.<br />
