Exactly.
I have read numerous times people predicting the demise of vintage in the coming years due to lack of collectors from the next generation having an interest. It is possible. I don't think it is probable but the risk exists.
The risk exists here that these modern cards that have exploded go higher. You can get on EBAY and find a 1951 Mantle Bowman anytime. Many would argue it is a much better card. But you can find one.
If you want this card you might have to wait years to land one. When things are hard to get people want them more. It is just human nature.
These type cards appeal to just that and why I am never shocked when the prices go for big numbers.
