Are Baseball Cards going to disappear
In our lifetime.
There is a story going around about 9 things that will disappear in our lifetime. Here is a c and p of one of those 9 things
"Many of the very possessions that we used to own are
still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They
may simply reside in "the cloud." Today your computer has a hard drive
and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software
is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all
of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up
their latest "cloud services." That means that when you turn on a
computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So,
Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet.
If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If
you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a
monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world,
you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any
laptop or handheld device. That's the good news. But, will you actually
own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any
moment in a big "Poof?" Will most of the things in our lives be
disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and
pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD
case and pull out the insert"
So, does this apply to Baseball cards and if so, will they disappear and thus any future interest per se in them
