Quoted from Darcy:Fairly sure that this is going to happen, in the next 10 years. Older collectors, either selling stuff off before they pass on, or collections left to the kids to sell off. The adult kids might keep a pin or two, just for the memories. Unless the pins represent dad liking his pins more than his relatives.
The next blow to EM pins will be closing of PBR, unless someone steps in to replace Steve, rather than just buying everything and just hoarding the parts. Gottlieb LLC could also falter, who knows?
If Steve Young doesn't have a succession plan, Mr. Personality could happily make an offer to purchase PBR and promptly wreck it.
