I've noticed precisely that phenomenon as well. It's actually been that way for thirty years.

You're very correct. Pokemon cards continue to be a sensation with kids. As nostalgia sets in with these former kids in decades to come, they'll eagerly ante up for the cards that they once had as well as the ones they merely coveted. It's therefore a mistake to dismiss Pokemon cards as a legitimate and potentially very pricey collectible.
