Initial pre-draft and after draft hype. 
Player cools as the next years crop of hyped rookies pop up
interest renews as a player gets called up/rookie year
value ebbs and flows based on team and individual performance
value rises a bit at retirement
value levels off again
value rises a bit if they make the HoF
value levels off again
value rises a bit at death

Not saying it's right or wrong, just how it tends to trend.  I think it's a bit morbid on the part of sellers, but there are more buyers in the market who want pieces to remember the athlete by.  When there's demand, supply will become available.
That's a pretty good road map of how things go.
