James- when I was growing up in the late 1950's and early 1960's the big thing was Proof Sets. Every year my dad would send away to the Mint for a bunch of them. We felt certain they were going to be really valuable one day.
If he only took the same amount of money and bought boxes of baseball card wax packs and put them away unopened. But nobody ever thought of doing that. And that's why they are so valuable today.
