The hardest part of the price surge is on the true collectors. Those of us that are true collectors that want to buy, hold, and enjoy cards can only buy less because we have to pay alot more than we used to so we can buy cards but buy less than we would have.
For those who are investors if they have just been buying, selling, and flipping cards they have been doing very well for how much longer not sure. The key is what they are buying and what price point.
As many said the High End Hofer's and famous players and in the better grades are all doing well and should continue to do so.
However, those same cards in the middle to lower grades that have been spiking up in prices may not stay that way. Many mentioned in other threads that some cards/series have been slowing down or just staying steady.
The collectibles, the ticket stubs, photos and the likes have been spiking dramatically and those may have the biggest risk for down size.

But as many mentioned I believe even if the card market slides backwards it will just move forward again after as it always does.

Based on the popularity and attendance of regional and National Card show I think there is a great pipeline of youth getting into the collecting business.
