I get that for cards from 2000 and beyond but what about older cards? I mean you can get a Griffey Rookie Card on ebay for just $20 now. It use to be over $100. It's not like they suddenly started making more Griffey RCs.
Because cards are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Everyone who wants a Griffey RC, has a card by now.
When I was young I collected marvel and basketball cards. I have the entire 1992 Marvel Masterpiece Series with all special cards. In 1992, it was "worth" $500 for the set. Today, you can buy the entire set for $20 on eBay. As explained to me by the local comic shop worker, everyone who wants a set, has a set. There is no demand because supply was so great.

I bought that card on Amazon a couple months ago.
Always was my favorite card (and player), but I never traded for it (cuz people wanted too much). I was happy as shite when that card came in...almost like a childhood dream come true.
