The former. This hobby is going the way of the 1%. The number of long time collectors I know who are getting into non-sports as a function of affordability is staggering. The (relatively modest) baseball cards that they want to collect are no longer in their budget.
That said, my guess is that the percentage of overall net worth is pretty low, because most collector's net worths are so high.
