30 years from now, a 15 year old kid who buys packs and goes to card shows with his dad today will be 45. He'll have some disposable income and will feel nostalgic at some point. He has the "collectors itch" again so what is he going to buy? In 2052, a 2010 Trout RC will be considered vintage. Will he go the "blue chip" route with a Trout RC or will he consider trying to complete a 2020 Topps Chrome "color run" of some random player he researched on the internet? Is that really any different than deciding to buy Mantle RC or trying to complete a "back run" of a T206 common? Or will he try and find his own unique way to collect like our members here who collect vintage catchers or Howe McCormick stamped cards?
Who knows. Collectors will always collect in their own way. I think the hobby will be just fine. It's the so-called investors or flippers who will always get screwed and I think that's a good thing for us collectors.
