Supply and demand will drive things as always. Not trying to reduce this to an economic-only issue but what I've seen since 1970 is that most people like to collect what they think will retain value.
We know the supply isn't going to change much so the more unknown factor
will be demand. Possibly less interested collectors percentage-wise going forward but increasing population so demand overall could remain much like it is today. Or not. LOL
Will future generations have the same reverence for pre-WWII baseball? Or pre-1980 for that matter? Who knows surely not me.
