I don't think it is all about the money. You can have all of the money in the world and not be able to acquire certain cards.
This past week a 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 9 was offered for the first time publicly the auction stated in ten years. It sold for $396,000 which seems inline with expectations I would think. That said one could sit an hope for one to come up for years and nothing and this drives prices long term.
People like to collect and trading cards is just one avenue where this can be accomplished and as I said it isn't going to change because of this recent scandal.
The PSA sucks crowd has been around for a long time and are just enjoying being more vocal at the moment but in the end people want to own the cards and will continue to fork over the bucks.
