I think the internet had a big hand in slowing down the trading card market. 10 or 15 years ago you couldn't find certain cards, certain players without buying pack after pack or scouring shops. Now all you have to do is type it into ebay and a week later you have it.

The value of the cards was directly proportionate to the difficulty of finding them in good condition. Now the net is flooded with them. Don't get me wrong, there is still some very elusive much sought after cards out there, but it's now much easier to find them. It's pretty much the same story for comic books.
