Despite your pompous self-worship, it's possible you don't know everything — shocking, I know. While anecdotal, I'm basing my opinions on having an uncle who's been in the business for 40 years, kids who are 19 and 15 and who've collected in some capacity since they were in pre-school, nephews age 5-18 who've done the same, the stories from all their friends, what I've seen at shows, and just talking to fellow collectors with young kids and people in the industry. Not sure I'd call that a bubble, sport.
Again, yes, future generations will collect old things, but their old things won't all be the same as ours.
