Even if cards stay the same price, they are sill dropping in value. Since baseball cards carry limited value or interest overseas, their value is strictly based on their relationship in regards to the American dollar.. Basically, if they don't follow suit with inflation, they are becoming less valuable. I'd see the sports that have more of a growing global interest showing more upside investment-wise in the future due to their global value. That said, Soccer cards carry very little value as they currently sit, so I'd see Boxing cards/collectibles having the most to gain in a volatile economy. Possibly even Hockey or Basketball, since those are the sports in which foreign countries are showing the biggest increase in interest in regards to the American professionalized leagues and their history.
