People here keep predicting the demise of the hobby, but these claims are highly unfounded.

In 15 years we may have fully autonomous cars, making manually driven cars obsolete and superfluous. Yet we still see cars selling for high prices.

In the coming decades we may see coins being taken out of circulation for Plastic or even electronic forms of payment. Yet we still see coins selling for high prices.

The amount of mail being sent is dwindling by the day, the next generation of children may not be aware of what a Stamp is. Yet we still see stamps selling for high prices.

People like to collect things, people WILL collect Baseball Cards.

To regress to the original question. I think HOFers with rare backs will at least maintain value if bought for an appropriate price. But when someone buys a rare back common for 10X actual value, that is excessive.
