Fetamore- first off, welcome to the board. Looks like you made your first post on this thread. I agree that cards have appreciated at an enormous rate since the boom began thirty years ago. But I don't think they will continue to appreciate at that rate anymore, with the possible exception of great rarities, and exceptionally high grade cards. I'm willing to bet that a T206 common with two creases in it may not be all that much more expensive twenty years from now than it is today. Somewhat more, perhaps, but not greatly so. But an E94 Wagner in near pristine condition may be a million dollars one day, who knows. Now that the hobby has matured it will start to resemble the coin and stamp trade, where great pieces are still in high demand, but the ones you see every day selling for about the same as they did ten years ago. Again, these are just educated guesses.
