DDMy own personal theory is that we are going to see a lot more young guys buying high grade cards. I know at least a few of you not only play poker, but follow the news, happenings, etc. There are many, with many more to come, rich young kids making literally thousands a day playing poker online. Not all of them have the income of Tom Dwan or Phil Galfond, but they make enough to afford cards.
Combine discretionary income with young, testosterone filled, gambling kids who love toys, and it will only take a couple of them to start a trend.
All we need is one of those guys on ESPN with a graded scarce card as a chip protector, and that would get the ball rolling.
