Can some card collections actually still be something lucrative, or has that ship saled?

I remember when I lived near the U.S border and we used to play school sports with the American high school on the other side.

At the time McDonalds in Canada had a hockey card promotion. I think they were Upper Deck cards, but they also had a McD logo on them. You couldn't get them in the States and it was just a promotion in Canada. Those American kids would pay an arm and leg for them in money and cards. By an arm and leg, I mean $5 to $20, or an excessive number of cards that they had.

I felt like I was ripping them off so hard, but they seemed to think those cards were the coolest things ever.
