Some of us have these wonderful plans to someday pass our graded collections on to our children, and grandchildren and down the line.
A thousand years from today....when archeologists are digging through the dirt where our homes once stood....what will they find?
Will the cards we lovingly searched for and spent mega bucks for be nothing but crumbled dust inside these little plastic cases....leaving the archeologists scratching their heads...wondering why this little pile of dust is a PSA 9.....and that pile of dust is a PSA 8.............Or, will the cases have long disentigrated leaving raw cards once again........raw cards for our future generations to once more, submit to the future grading companies...starting the cycle again.

of what?
philosophical nonsense?
or humor?
First of all, if the cardboard disintegrates, the flips will, too. So all that is found would be plastic cases full of dust, PSA 8-9-or-10 will be lost as well. Plastic doesn't break down like paper, Joe. But you knew that. However, since you started this post, here's my take.
It may not take 1000 years, nor may it matter:
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth will be burned up." II Peter 3:10
I don't think the cards or holders will survive that. Which is why I'm careful not to worship these little icons of the past. I haven't seen any hearses pulling a U-Haul.
