I have a running debate with one of my friends about the future outlook of these markets. We both agree that perfect replication of many physical collectibles (e.g. mtg cards, comic books) will become possible over the next few decades. My belief is that this will cause authentic values to decline. His belief is that this will cause authentic values - confirmed by certificates and the like - to skyrocket. I still prefer my position (and it’s fed into a growing sense of anti-materialism) but truthfully could foresee either outcome.
