Looks like you can't read the article without setting up an account.

I would copy and paste the article, but not sure about the legality of doing that in a public forum. Basically, it's a dystopian view of a card show in 2032 with virtual and hologram cards traded in the Metaverse (where the average American spends 30 hours/week) having replaced the failed experiments of blood and hair cards. Vintage prices collapsed after the baby boomers sold en masse and subsequent generations no longer cared about "touchable collectables." Our hero in this tale is a lone survivor searching for actual cardboard Yogi Berra cards

Well, if we can't read the article, and nor do you want to post it on here, then I guess there is nothing to discuss!

Could not read without an account

SO unless it is copied and pasted here sadly nothing to read or report on

Interesting Jeremy, hey thanks so much for the summary! There are many predictions being made, thus I stand by my motto "as long as you enjoy your hobby, and you are not hurting anyone or depriving your family, go for it!"
