Two quick points

1. I see the hobby as trading card collecting, much like Burdick, not just baseball card collecting and many have pointed to the kids growing interest in non sport products like Magic and Pokemon. This can easily lead to vintage non sport collectors who may also turn to some sports cards. I also see a lot of kids buying football cards.

2. The market is global now not just the US, couple that with our own rising Latino population. A culture were baseball is certainly still revered. As they gain a stronger economic foothold in our society and gain more disposable income I could see some values rising, particularly on some Latino legends such as Clemente.

Like I said in a previous post I have been hearing the hobby was dying since I started selling cards. There will be a trading card hobby full of many collectors for at least all of our lifetimes.
