and your time frame is long term, you need to look at what recent generations have loved as kids and will want to acquire as affluent adults. Mint, sealed classic Nintendo games, Ninja Turtle or Star Wars toys come to mind. Maybe even those stupid Beanie Babies. Buy them now, put them in a box and let your grandchildren become famous some day.

As far as baseball cards go, top condition vintage material has always been a good investment. When prices are quoted lower, no one sells. Prices plateau at higher levels when new collectors enter the market, inducing older collectors to cash in. The only risk is that kids today are not as infatuated with the game as our generation was. Will the 50 year old of 2050 know or care about Cap Anson and King Kelly?
Will he pay a premium for a Bid McPhee?
