As the U. S. dollar is replaced as the "world standard". Our country will economically collapse. The U. S. is destined to be a 3rd world nation. There will be the rich and the poor. No middle class. A depression that will make the 30's seem like a Sunday picnic, and last until there is a "change" in the consciousness of humankind, or an end to humankind.
Carry on gentlemen. Dave

People have been predicting the end of humanity since the beginning. I doubt anyone on here will live to see it.

Agreed, maybe not the end of humanity.

Doubtful that our economy can take this debt, does not seem sustainable.

So likely a definite effect on the card market.

I sense it's easier to type those sentiments from the closest thing the U.S. has to paradise...if things ever get that bad (some days I think they will and some days I don't), at least you have the luxury of living your days under the stars!

David for some reason I always pictured you as a chubby Somoan with a pony tail... Obviously I was wrong lol it's that islander stereotype I guess. Looks like you're living the dream though!!!

Assuming that the politicians don't screw it up, we are heading for a period where the US will have the cheapest energy in the world and will be energy self sufficient. This will provide a tremendous competitive advantage for our industries and will usher in a great age of prosperity. That just means that I am bullish on America. Cards, who knows? Just like any other market, prices down the road can be lower or higher than they are today. The biggest mistake one can make (see housing prices in 2007) is assuming that a market will only move in one direction.

Yeah, we've seen predictions here and elsewhere about collapse of U.S. economy since 2008. Wonder why those making the predictions haven't sold all their cards already? I will happily take a few off their hands if they want.

I see all cards going down in the future, because as the older generation that has hoards of valuable vintage cards start to pass away then the market will flood... Then I will swoop in and buy all the cards for unbelievably cheap prices !!!
But honestly I think the majority of collectors are in their 40s and 50s. I'm in my early twenties and don't know one person in Orange County, CA that's my age that like/buy cards in general... I will say I met a few guys my age in Oklahoma though. So where will the demand be for cards in 30 years? A lot less than there is now is my prediction. I hope I'm wrong though... I don't want to be the only one left on this forum in 50 years....
