That depends on what you mean by future of the hobby. If you mean future values of cards, then yes, they will go down, but people, including myself, will always collect. And those price drops will not happen over night, just very slowly over time and the older guys pass away or get out. But with all that new supply, it will open up great buying opportunities for younger collectors to get stuff they have always wanted but could never afford, so in a way, I am looking forward to such a dip.
I just set up at a show this past weekend. The average dealer was easily over 50, but many were not. And as far as attendees, there were many in their 30s and 40s, some even with kids who were into it.
