The card show point is salient. Since the seventies I’ve attended literally hundreds of shows; in the late eighties and early nineties it was 2-3 every weekend. For a few years I set up every weekend at local shows. Prewar cards never looked this good in this quantity. Postwar mainstream, yeah, there were plenty of accumulations from baby boomers that surfaced in great shape. I bought, slabbed and sold off some of those and definitely can see high end cards surviving 20-30 years in a childhood bedroom untouched until the parents move. But another fifty years? Rare, or at least rarer than now.
