Asteroid mining: one big problem I've heard no one mention!

I think the whole thing is a pipe dream. But, I haven't anyone talk about the fact that if we find an asteroid with millions or billions of tons of precious metal, like platinum, and are able to bring this back to earth, the platinum is no longer rare. The cost of platinum would plummit from over abundance. Supply and demand.
