I'd rather see more collectors, not less.
But wouldn’t more collectors mean more demand, and therefore, higher prices?

Overall, yes, I agree. But the market for certain items will narrow as prices go up.

Everything is relative, so take this example FWIW. Five years ago, card X sold for $1000. Today that card sells for $5000. Person Y can deal with dropping $1000 for a card, but not $5000. That person is now out of that market.

Full disclosure... my salary has not quintupled in the last five years.

Ok, fwiw, I'm retired. My income has been cut in half but my bills may have been cut by 500%. I don't want to do the math .
