Mark LIf the bottom fell out because people stopped wanting the cards, I would buy up as much as I could because I think they're really great. I would regret the money I spent on them when the price was high but would console myself with the money I saved in not completing all those early sets. But if someday we found a glut of pre-war cards, I suppose I would feel less urgency to pick them up. If you want a realistic scenario, how about the following? The other day a member allowed that he owned 60,000 pre-1920 baseball cards. What if he and ten others with similar collectors decided to sell everything they had. Let's say a million pre-war cards hit ebay on the next dump day. and another million or two turned up the next week. After the collapse, I would pick up a few of the Wagner and Cobbs that I still want, finish some sets, and turn to other pastimes.
