Do people still collect items signed/owned by Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, or do they only want Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden (please no political commentary, you get the point). Is Rembrandt, Monet, and Picasso losing interest and value to Banksy and Basquat (excuse spelling). Are classic early and original cars no longer desirable, as people collect first generation Teslas and Rivians?
Look, maybe in time people lose interest in the old old stuff- maybe bc it’s baseball, maybe bc it’s old, maybe both. But above are some examples where that has not happened and unlikely to happen, and I personally believe that prewar vintage is more like Washington and Monet than Lionel Trains and Delftware
Time will tell. I am long on the prewar blue chip. I hope I am right!
