All new cards will be digital only. Counterfeits of significant vintage cards will be rampant.

If in the future all new cards are digital, what happens to grading companies? At some point most of the “old” cards that need to be graded will have been graded.

New advances in doctoring will keep the break out, work on, and resubmit game going for quite some time. Every card will be an 8 or better. The card cleaning line of products will expand to recoloring, trimming, crease removal (well we are sort of there already) and corner rebuilding, it will all be natural and undetectable and people will zealously defend it to the death.

Sportcards and wine: The only two things that improve their condition the older they get.

Were there any predictions of TPGs and altered cards? Shill bidding a-holes that would get sentenced to prison time? Poor Bill became the poster child for that and you have to figure he wasn't the only one (just the highest $$ AH). Yeah, lots of crappy stuff. What positive stuff can be said? Any predictions about cardboard millionaires? Oh yeah, that pretty much screwed the hobbyist that were trying to collect for the fun of it.

Perhaps the only “positive” among all the predictions here.

Trying to even remotely accurately predict the future is beyond the ability of human beings. If it wasn't, then every single movie from long ago that showed what the future was going to look like would've had every person carrying a little cell phone around, but none of them did.

Get Smart came pretty close with the shoe phone. But obviously their glimpse into the future failed to identify the correct appendage. And if I remember correctly the phone was rotary dial.

But please note the name of the sitcom...I imagine one of the working titles for the show was Get Smart Phone.

Star Trek Communicators were a pretty damn good match.

No. I don’t think there is much of a future for pet rocks. But, given how everything will become more digitized and less fungible, I do think NFTs, maybe in some different form, will have value in the future. And if that happens, the earliest versions will be valuable. I am not talking about video clips, like when you could buy some Zion dunk. But more like digital cards, or artwork. Who knows, it will be what it be.
