in the 90's. The market got saturated and too many cards were made.

The saturation really pushed the market to want specific sets such as Topps Chrome/Finest. That element was always present but it manifested pretty hard in the 90's. The saturation got too bad and completely sunk the market.

For me it was the day I chose to buy 2 packs of 1980 Topps cards looking for a Nolan Ryan card instead of the last pack of 89 Upper Deck cards the shop had, then watching another kid buy the last pack of 89 Upper Deck cards, opening them in the store and pulling out 2 Griffey rookie cards....
Yep, that's the fricker.

Probably mid to late 90's. Dad and I used to go to cards shows all the time. It was probably around 96ish when the frequency of shows all but stopped, and we went to a couple were basically no vendors showed up.
