Fair point, but even when the baby boomer generation dies off, kids of baby boomers will still want to collect Mantle as it was their father's favorite player of that generation.
And I think 30 years from now, the 1952 Mantle will always be a top 5 card in the hobby. That card single-handedly started the card collecting craze of the 1980s/90s. Now kids from the 1980s/90s are in their 30s and 40s and they will have spending power for quite some time.
