Is Memorabilia on the decline?

The market is absolutely NOT down. Availability may be down but not demand. I think we are missing an important point with regard to memorabilia. That being the magnitude of collecting options. Memorabilia could fall under hundreds of catagories and people collect different things. Just because the card board has tons of volume doesn't mean people love them more. There are simply more people who collect that specific niche of memorabilia. Cards are memorabilia. Quality scarce memorabilia and items with strong eye appeal are GOLDEN. Everything from rare bats, to pennants, trophies, and pinbacks sell with gusto when they are available. You can spend your $ on cards, put them into your safe deposit box or binders and that is fine. Nothing stops people in their tracks like a stunning piece of displayable memorabilia.

We don't have to debate folks, just enjoy.
