Same situation with Ferraris. If only they would hire more people, cut some corners and get a bigger factory, I could afford one!

- thombat 3y agoNot a useful comparison, since the limitation isn't of the supply of cards overall but of particular cards that (other than the material printed) are identical to the common ones.
- kjs3 3y agoTo be fair, unlike a monopoly controlled product, Ferraris are fungible in that I can equally not be able to afford a Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg and numerous others. We have many options for cars we can't afford. The Honda will have to do. :-)

- kibwen 3y agoThis is quite a silly comparison, because these cards are cheap to produce and trivial to manufacture relative to something like a car. The value is from the perceived scarcity, not from the perceived quality or luxury or usefulness, and the scarcity is at the whim of the manufacturer who artificially decides which cards will be scarce and which will be common.
