Once you get to the cards we discuss here, you likely have an appreciation for them, their scarcity and history, their relevance, etc. I think those people who progress from modern to vintage are investors who learn to really appreciate what they are investing in, and thus, take on attributes of a collector. And I do think people (perhaps many), of all ages, will walk backwards down the number line from modern to vintage; this is exactly what happened to me 30+ years ago
I would put vintage baseball cards into the same general group with vintage art, coins, stamps, toys, comic books, and antiques in general. If these other collectibles continue to experience heavy interest, and appreciation (which is a positive gauge of interest) then the future of vintage baseball cards will be fine.

Nobody collects 1878 Carson City silver dollars for the sake of nostalgia, and same for tobacco cards. Nobody alive today saw Rube Waddell pitch.
