Collector traps to avoid
- Do not pay for every Trail Blazers nostalgia card like it is a grail.

- Do not force a broader market than Clyde actually has.
Clyde's market fools people when second-tier all-time respect gets confused with automatic liquidity. The best cards work; weak cards stay weak.
