I still question whether the aggregate interest and purchasing power of we 'aging' (to be charitable) baby boomers (I'm 67) with regard to vintage cards will be completely replaced by the next generation. Maybe so: we collect old-timers we never saw play so why shouldn't today's youngsters collect Mickey Mantle? On the other hand, there are many other diversions today that the millenials grew up with that lay claim to their disposable dollar.
Also, I've wondered for some time whether we might be headed for a (modest?) economic downturn generally that could impact uses of disposable income and thus the value of collectibles. Since I was a poor economics student in college and never fully understood it, however, feel free to ignore this point.
