My thoughts do not run that deep.

What say y’all?

Why don't you start with what your concept of wealth redistribution is? What do you think that means and why do you think it means you won't be able to sell your baseball cards? You don't exactly have to be wealthy to buy most of them.

Who said anything about not being able to sell them. There will always be a market. But what EFFECT will it have in prices in your opinion?

Well, your question is predicated on whatever your understanding of wealth redistribution is. So taking that into consideration, zero effect.

For the love of God, Leon, kill this thread. It's going to quickly devolve into ugliness when someone starts bringing up Bernie Sanders and that squeaky voiced AOC moron.

(But to answer the original question, there will be no market for vintage cards, because all of them will be confiscated by the storm troopers of whomever becomes the new Stalin.)
