Default Future collecting generations

Posted By: Chris 

What does everyone think the future of vintage collectors will be? I wonder if kids today and their kids and their kid's kids will collect pre war items that we all enjoy. Seems like most kids today are more interested in other things: video games, skating, other type of non sports cards and the ones that are interested in sports cards all like the chrome cards and X-Fractors and stuff like that. I have a 12 year old son who is the exception to the rule. Like me, he loves the old stuff and the history it represents. There aren't many like him out there though. When I go to shows and go to a table that has new stuff I just pass it like it was a table with garbage on it, but the kids do the same with the old stuff.
Also, do you think values will continue to rise over the years as the kids grow older? The supply will obviously decrease but I think the demand will decrease also. Any thoughts?
