I don't know if I'd call it Gresham's Law, but I definitely think it's related to money supply inflation. For one, there wouldn't be so many scalpers if prices weren't going up rapidly, and I don't think prices would have gone up this rapidly if we didn't have a rapid monetary expansion

my kids have been pretty excited about Pokemon cards (World Cup Panini has taken over recently), but their uncle just unveiled his card collection from his childhood and they are in awe. We luckily haven't gotten to the point where they are questing too hard for new cards.

As to the Gresham's Law argument, I'm not sure. I think we see lots of weird collectibles things getting popular, but it feels more like gambling to me than it does like serious savings tech. As you point out, they could just buy gold. I doubt the issue is saggy bulges.
