And 2) Are there a lot of these cards out there? You bet. But there will continue to be floods, fires, and all sorts of other events that, over the decades, will wipe out collections, aka decreased supply.

I am also in my 30s, but not worried one bit about cardmageddon...at least not in our lifetime anyways.

I'm not worried about cardmageddon either.

When little league ball begins to decrease, and the interest isn't there, then I'll be concerned. ( Golf is in serious trouble ) Will all of those kids grow up and collect?

Not all, but some will.

Most of them collect in some form or another right now though. They all have their favorite players, and present collecting habits can lay the foundation for more expensive interest in card collecting down the road.
