    Not as long as arbitrary monetary values are given to personal items in a civilization dominated by capitalism, wealth inequality, and vultures looking to cheat the system that failed them.

    The card is not worth $8,000. Its worth is purely sentimental, after it was originally purchased for what, $0.50? As long as obsession over money exists, people will manufacture products at low monetary cost, sellers manipulate buyers with talk of rarity, people will pretend things are financially extremely valuable, and other people will seek to acquire it.
