As someone who loves sports cards, I understand the hype and joy of being a collector in 2023. There are hyped-up prospects, big chases and products for everyone. However, the current model of the sports card industry has lost the frame of reality by overvaluing young players while undervaluing generational superstars.

It feels cliche to say, “You can’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone,” but that’s the only way to describe this situation. Ohtani will not pitch for the rest of the year, creating a pivotal moment for fans to learn how to appreciate the greatness present in all sports.
