I know this is going to sound confrontational, but this is obviously no a pyramid scheme... in order to be a pyramid... the people who are at the top must always remain at the top and those under them must alway only push them up. The reason why this is true is because booster packs are always $2 or less if you buy a lot. There is a guy who recently came from nowhere and bought like 45k booster packs... him buying packs did not push those "whales" that were already in the game up, it actually potentially pulled them down (if the guy decides to sell his cards) because now there are a bunch of new cards on the market. They have essentially been devalued by a new player... the opposite of a pyramid scheme.
