Not disregarding your premise completely, but Sotherbys is full of lots of stuff every month that no one collects anymore -- let's say antique pillboxes -- and that doesn't keep them from being coveted, pricey collectibles. I think you could easily make an argument that the fact that card collecting holds little if any sway over the younger generation at this point will only make rare cards that much more sought after 25 years from now. All conjectural of course.
