Again, what the person does with a card after a deal is done is their business. If they want to sell it, so be it. It's their card and as long as I get a card that I want in return, it doesn't bother me one bit.
As I said earlier, be happy that their are people who go after hot players. Otherwise, that LJ might stay on your trade page for a while.
As long as you're getting a card you want in return, who cares if the other person is a bandwagon jumper or not?

The ones that collect hot players only that arn't in it for the right reasons. In my opinion anyway, a legit collector is someone who sticks with a goal. They build up a certain player, team or set. Or maybe all HOF'er or something. Not someone who changes their want list every week to include hot players.

"It should be about collecting for fun not business."
People can collect for w/e reason they want, theres no wrong way to collect. There is no right or wrong reason to collect, you do w/e makes you happy.

I see where your comin from, but there are people who make a livin' off cards, so they dont really care who they collect.

Who said anything about the next 5 years? No, I don't think he can keep it up for that long but I was talking about this season where it's very possible that he'll do it. And I never said anything about the playoffs either. I'm just going off your comment of "and those people who are talking about a 2000 yard season, not gonna happen"... I'm talking about the regular 2006 season. Not 2007 and beyond, not playoffs, nothing more.
And on the note that he can't single handedly lead them to teh SB... who has? To get to the Super Bowl you need a great team, not just a great QB.
