I still value looking at a card in person and will "overpay" for cards like '57s, 71s, etc if I can hold the card in person. I can't tell you how many times I've bought cards (even ones w/very large scans) on eBay or online but when I received it in hand it did not meet my approval. For this reason alone, I think shows/on site card buying will always have some customers (assuming collecting cards survives the test of time)
