History you can hold in your hands
Nah, baseball cards won't disappear. People like history, especially (but not limited to) early, significant Americana, they can hold right in their hands. Check out shows like Pawnstars, Classic Car Chasers (not sure I've got the title right, but two well-heeled bidders recently went hot and heavy after a barn-find, late '30's (?) Bugatti with frozen brakes that didn't even run, and had been in storage for nearly 50 years--car went for over $800,000!), Antique Roadshow, etc. The desire to have a tangible link to the past seems to be something embedded deeply within human nature, that isn't likely to change anytime soon.
Prices may be somewhat cyclical, especially the more common stuff, but we'll be around for quite awhile.
Best to all,
Larry
