There are a lot of relatively new collectors - kids and collectors in their 20 - 40's.
These new collectors are probably more into modern cards. How many LeBron and Mike Trout cards can one continue to collect as the decades roll by?
At some point, they will want something new to them - vintage ! As collectors age, mature and discretionary income increases, there are going to be A LOT of these collectors move to vintage. Once us "oldies" pass away, the vintage market will not suffer and could actually boom to ever new dizzying heights.
Card collecting is here to stay. The population of this country is just going up and up and up - more collectors as time passes. Demand will increase. They are only so many nice cards of Cobb, Ruth and the like.
