If you ever notice on these forums 95% of the collectors are chasing the same 5 or 6 guys. That competition drives up the prices to unrealistic levels and unless you are a Patrick Mahomes or an LBJ, those prices inevitably will come back to earth.
My philosophy is take the path of least resistance. When everyone else zigs, I zag It is a long game philosophy that has served me well.
Tony Parker is a prime example of taking the path of least resistance. He was a very late first round pick, Ginobilli was a second round pick, Bruce Bowen was a little known 3 and D guy and the rest of the league was chasing the shiny objects. The Spurs played the long game and won 4 titles, 3 of which were with those lightly regarded players as key pieces to the machine.
