In my view all tangible assets seem to trend similarly when looking at overall appreciation or depreciation. If sports cards trend down one day so will comics and vise versa. It's all relative when you are talking about people "investing" in collectibles. Since it is a reflection of overall economic health I wouldn't be too worried about which genre to put your money into. Collect what you enjoy and have fun with it. Life's too short to worry about the next hot collectible.
The only thing I would be on the lookout for and what worries me is when you have new speculators dumping big money into a genre of collecting. Unsustainable disruption is what I call it. The cliche bubble affect.
