How do you see the market 10yrs from now

[buymycards]

I may be wrong, but I would think that the vast majority of the members of Net54 don't give a hoot about "The Market". We collect cards, maybe sell a few cards, and we are very happy with our lower grade collections. We enjoy the chase, and we collect cards that are meaningful to us. I think most of us sell our excess cards so we can use the money to buy more cards for our personal collections. As far as what a 52 PSA 3 Mantle will be worth 10 years down the road - I don't care.

This is how I feel.

In my personal opinion, if you are in sports cards for an investment...you are a poor investor. Yes, the market has shown it can be manipulated by the unsavory as it is small. I don't believe this will go unnoticed by the government much longer due to the current cash flow some of those involved are tossing around.

In 10 years I only see the same ups and downs we see today and the values will be fairly steady as a whole. The long, long term...only downhill as collectors age and pass away. Does this affect my collecting? Not at all as it is a hobby, not my retirement planning.
