Luckily, TPCI has a bunch of smart people who know that if they overprint to the point where nothing has value, the TCG will die. People like you misunderstand how the economics work. Actual "collectors" come in all varieties and MANY of them care that things like their 1st Edition Charizards...
If sets have no value, why rip packs? Better to buy singles as is, but especially so if everything is worthless. It sets off a death spiral where less and less people buy new sealed product, shops can't afford to keep buying from distributors, and the market stagnates.
Not really going for a "counter", but thanks for telling me what I think, I guess? ?
ANYWAY, overprinting cards to the point that nothing is rare in a card game that makes rarity a key component would also not be sustainable.
