Frankly I'm not worried about a 200 year old Cobb card being worth less than a 100 year old Pokemon card.
I'm also not worried about "rock & roll oldies" radio stations being replaced by "rap oldies" stations in 50 years.
Our type of card collecting is more akin to antique collecting than to anything related to Panini or Pokemon.
When there are no more art museums, archaeologists, wine collectors, historians, etc,,,,,,,,,, there will be no more card collectors.
Until then, the hobby may morph as it has in the past, but it will be around, unless of course we run out of money.
