Was speaking with someone on this topic recently, and I suggest this as a factor. The big boom of buying baseball cards started in the '50s. So, if a kid was born in '45, the entire decade of the '50s would have been the sweet spot for collecting for that kid. My point is that that kid born in '45 is now 77 years old, and that generation is going to be declining in numbers over the coming years. Perhaps there are a lot of stashes and collections out there that will see the light of day again due to the passing of those years. Not rocket science, just a sad fact.
