The current volatility today is a bit frightening to me. Just look at recent sales of Michael Jordon's RC in a 9 or 10. Prices are dropping like stones. Even if you have deep pockets it must be unnerving to watch your beloved MJ RC plummet in value.

Pre War cards will always be King in terms of holding their value.and being steady. The best modern card players can still gain in value, but the story is not finished on them yet, so they can be extremely volatile, and yes very scary if caught holding some too long.
The 1984 Star Company Michael Jordan Rookie is going up strong right now.
The third year 1986 Fleer Jordan card has come back to earth(even though it is still up from 2019 by a lot).
