Who do you think we will pass the torch to? Collectors who collected modern that turned vintage. You see that star card phenomenon in post war cards. But set collecting in prewar is still popular because those that collect prewar love the history and the collecting Chase. That said, as more prewar collectors get added to the group, the more modern collecting vintage will become. So I definitely I think this is more of an hobby evolution versus a trend.
Possibly - but collectors also change focus over time. Before I got into vintage, I wasn't a set collector at all. But as soon as I started working on older stuff, my focus entirely changed and now I'm primarily a set collector.

It's possible that the Green Cobb never gives way to those cards. But I don't necessarily believe set collecting will cease to exist just because new collectors enter the market with no real experience in that area.
