Dunno if it's enough to impact the hobby, but there's got to be more new people beginning or expanding their "forever collections" that will hold until they possibly upgrade or the market makes it worth it to sell.

I've been working on my various graded collections since the late 1990s, and I'm sure there's a few cards in my collection that some would be excited to have as part of their collection even if they're not amongst the hottest collectable names.

Often it's harder to add an uncommon issue common card than a star from the same set. I've noticed a lot more of those kinds of cards getting snapped up quickly the past 2-3 years rather than sitting around for sale lingering for months/years. I doubt a lot of these collectors are set collectors, more likely type or team collectors...which I've seen a lot of both pop up recently.
