I didn't see the skyrocketing price of Richard Petty's 1972 STP card coming when I bought a few of them 7-8 years ago. That card is worth 10X what it was worth back then, and the price increase has come at a time when NASCAR is less popular than it was a generation ago.

Precisely my point! Only those cards/items currently considered outright junk can eventually explode in price because only those are trashed.
And you've just motivated me to break the
Wrestling All-Stars set I bought for $5 over 35 years ago out of its sealed brick and put the cards in Ultra Pro sheets! Plus I uncovered a Traks
Richard Petty set that I'd forgotten I had.
