This is spot-on and one of many things that drives me absolutely nuts about fandom in general and collector communities in particular. It's entirely possible that this line won't connect with the NBA fanbase or the sports memorabilia market, but they're real, and they have money. LeBron James has more name recognition in the US than any X-Men character not named Wolverine.

One of my general rules of thumb is that when choices like the ones for this line don't match fan expectations, it's often because the fans aren't the intended market.
