It’s easy to say the “house hold” name cards will always stay on top. T206 Wagner, 1952 Topps Mantle, Babe Ruth anything etc. As much as we love type cards and oddball obscure cards & items they will always remain oddball items. I’ve noticed (and I’m sure all or most of you have too) Certain cards and sets run in hot streaks for a time or limited time for unknown reasons.. Example 1952 Topps Mantle, sales, highest graded auction blowout yadda yadda, drove this card’s popularity up (even more than it was) and also had the trickle down effect making collectors seek out his 51 bowman and other cards/issues as well. I have seen more 52 Topps mantles within the last 2 years than my entire lifetime.
T206s and CJ’s respectively take turns out front.
Pandemic and post pandemic besides everything going up, then down. I noticed a huge peak in price of the ex-Negro League players. (Jackie Satch etc) I fell victim of this particular player spike.
Pre-War & Vintage will always be in demand, but which card or sets will be leading the pack? This always changes, this is what I love about the hobby. Here are my honest opinions, to increase heavily over time. Again all vintage increases never decreases (usually)
T206 Wagner
1933 Goudey Ruth’s
1952 Topps Mantle
Rookie Year Jackie Robinson items
