...I wonder what would happen if the RAM adopted the same bespoke minting process...

The result would be the same. The problem is not so much the product itself, or the way its marketed, but rather the high proportion of profiteers vs genuine collectors. These people inflate the numbers so they can make a quick profit, and the oversupply guarantees everyone else is then looking at a loss as prices collapse. The aftermarket never expands, because there is a constant stream of new product to satisfy the novices, and "real" collectors are unlikely to be interested.

NCLT is never going to be anything but a losing proposition for most buyers. Therefore it is best avoided entirely. If a particular item appeals, buy it because you like it, but consider it a consumable, not an investment.
