Who will be the buyer of our vintage cards in 20 years?

Barry,
I agree with you. That T206 common with creases will probably not increase in value over time accept for inflation. I venture a guess that 50% of the increase in such cards over the last 30 years was do to inflation. The other 50% was appreciation from increased demand. I must tell you though, one of the things I have gotten from reading this board is an appreciation for these lesser conditioned cards. There is so much to be learned from them and you guys have studied them well. I'm embarrassed to admit that years ago I would throw lesser conditioned cards away, including T and E cards with multiple creases, tares and the like.

Dan,
My advice to you is when to see a card that you really want, you think it's priced fairly, and you can afford it, buy it. Your young enough and will collect long enough to realize a nice increase in your collections value.

I have so many stories over the years of cards that I regret not buying.
