Howard, thanks for your great insight. I particularly enjoyed your response to the question on what the investment horizon is for prewar cards with an aging boomer population. As a 29 year old collector of t206, I have always led with my “collecting” side as you mentioned. Like many, the complexity and beauty of the set is what drew me in, and the value/investment side has always been secondary. That being said, I have always wondered if the value of t206 cards will hold as we continue to be further removed from this era.
From my perspective, the t206 set, and prewar sets as a whole, are so intertwined with the lore and foundational history of the game, that I think there will always be an appetite for collecting that focuses on the “founding father” era of the game. Just my two cents, but definitely a thought provoking discussion that I enjoyed!
Cheers!
Daniel
