I recently walked the floor of the West Coast National (Renamed from the Burbank Card Show) in Ontario. I saw several young men, and entire families, wheeling and dealing everywhere - trading/buying/selling. Several dealers had piles of cash to entice the seller and I saw a lot of people being paid in cash.
Every dealer I stopped and chatted with tried to get me to sell, or send to their auction, etc, some or all of my vintage cards. I do sell a few now and then, but mainly just buy and add to my collection.
It seems the demand for 1969 and earlier is endless. Definitely more demand than supply.
It's much easier with the modern cards - just like the treasury department and money - just make more to meet the demand! Heck, who doesn't like the new remake of the Challenger and Camaro, however, if you owned an original like I did, it's just not the same!
