@vcgriffin ok, this is where our ideas of what values is conflict. Sure, you can do something for the sake of enjoying it. But that in itself is where demand comes from. Nothing else. Wanting to win in a collectible card game is that person's idea of buying things to enjoy them. So anyway, demand created. Certain cards like Nightmare Moon and the UR versions of RD and Rarity, appear once or twice in every four-6 boxes. 2-4 UR's per box, but most the time you see Philomena and Ship Shape. People want these cards, but are getting buttloads of copies of everything else, so demand goes up because people want them so they can enjoy them (still using your definition of value here). This makes people charge more for those cards, and less for other cards since everyone has a hojillion copies of everything else while looking for these three cards. Sanctioned play keeps demand going, otherwise there's no incentive to play with the UR's and therefore buy more product. With me so far?
