Chaplin was a silent movie actor. There was never a following of actor cards and they never really had value to begin with so it’s not a strong link.
I’m not saying it’s all rosy but I would put Chaplin more in the spoon collecting camp than sports cards. And yes cards don’t produce cash flow, but there is a personal connection and historical relevance which adds value to it. Art is no different, so as many other precious assets.
Want proof, people still collect hockey and boxing cards...
