I don't know who "we" is when it comes to judging subsequent generations who haven't done anything yet, but I'm more inclined to judge ours for our successes and failures that are actually documented.
WHAT people collect has changed dramatically in 40 years and especially recently, whether it's basketball having the most valuable cards a few decades after it was DOA, game-used inserts, women's sports, UFC and wrestling over boxing, soccer, RPGs, whatever. What they collect won't look exactly like what takes place on this site, but it's pretty safe to say values of the GOATs and the most historically significant athletes are safe. And yes, baseball is less important to them than past generations. Set collecting is also unknown to them.
