There will always be a market for non-virtual new cards...there may be fewer collectors for these items, but there will always be collectors. Cards are not like music which evolved from wax to vinyl to tapes to CD to MP3s. The evolution of music delivery makes sense..there are still collectors of all of those forms of delivery though. Cards are cards..have always been cards aside from making them shiny, I don't see virtual cards as the future of card collecting.

As the discussion has evolved from the existence of future cards to the value of cards in the future, I can't resist offering the view that the vast majority of cards produced in the future, as with the cards produced over the last 30+ years, will fail to retain their original retail value. Once cards became "collectibles," the manufacturers simply began to issue far too many for demand to keep up with supply.
And, I don't think "insert" cards will offer an exception in the vast majority of cases because a short supply based upon manufacturing contrivance does not have the same relationship to demand as a genuine short supply based upon the passage of time, as with vintage cards. So, for example, while a 1/1 Strasburg autograph card might have once brought serious money, I would suspect that, over time, its value (even assuming his future prominence) would decline substantially due to the ready supply of other Strasburg autograph cards.
