They will probably want a signed rookie card of shohei ohtani, but will they really want a signed topps rookie card of jeff bagwell, craig biggio, harold baines or tim raines?

Seems logical, but what explains why collectors care about 19th century, or tobacco cards, or any other issues other than huge names from the past. I think there will always be collecting niches of teams, eras, what have you, and that RC will have a place among those in the future.
