A purely hypothetical discussion unfolds on the future of basketball cards, involving an upper level NBA leadership decision to shift all future basketball cards to 'tall boy' format to emphasize athletes' height and athleticism, diverging from the traditional card size. Arguments for and against this change are explored, considering aspects like collectability, market impact, and implications for sports card manufacturers, supplies, and collectors. Additionally, the conversation touches on potential consequences of Fanatics' growing influence and control in the sports card industry and the broader implications of major shifts in sports card formatting, including collector behavior and the industry's evolution.
