I really do not think I would care at all if 70%-90% of the auction companys and 50%-75% of the grading companies ceased to exist. There are too many of both of these that exist currently. A very hypercompetitive market. For gods sakes, we do not need 12 auction companys and 4 grading services.
I would collect if cards were worthless. That is essentially how they were when I started. I am all for some plumeting prices. Just hope I am in a postion to reap the benefits of cheaper prices. That is my biggest concern.
