Yes I would would be worried about kids in the 1990s..but the 1980s kids are fine and they would have many buying years left..
I think really just the best of the best players will have value down the line...a guy like George foster for example...20 years ago we would have looked at him as a former star..but now he is common....so the 'stars' become commons..but the Cobb/Ruth/Mantle of the world seem fine to hold..
