Default Whatever happened to Goudeys, Diamond Stars, Playballs etc.

Although this site defines Vintage as pre-war (WWII, that is) and nominally includes those colorful gum cards from the 30's as well as the B&W photos from 39 & 40 -- nearly all of the cards we discuss are pre-1920.
This is an observation not a complaint.
Apart from our general lack of interest in discussing the 1930's cards I have also noticed that they do not seem nearly as popular in terms of sales as they were 10 years or more ago.* I wondered why and was hoping some of you could enlighten me both from a collector perspective and more of a dealer perspective.
