Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there! Don't go throwing your hard-earned money away. To truly maximize profits, focus your attention on the ultra-rare 1988-1991 era and stockpile as many Score and Classic brand cards as possible. Let me also recommend a few rookies you might want to load up on:
Gregg Jeffries, Ricky Jordan, Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens, Brien Taylor and Todd Van Poppel.

Especially cases of '91 Fleer. Since the boxes aren't really worth anything, warehouses will trash them to make room for better products. Also, anyone that has a box has opened it, because it isn't worth saving. So many years from now, few will have saved unopened '91 Fleer boxes and there will be a shortage for unopened box collectors.

Here's my stupid question. Last year Roy Campanella had cards in almost every Topps product. This year he has nothing in any set (except for 4-5 cards in Panini products). Did Topps lose the right to produce his cards? As a Campy collector I enjoyed having him in products like Triple Threads and Sterling. It will be very disappointing if he is not in those products.

And as a followup, is there any way to know ahead of time if retired players are going to be appearing in future sets?

First rule of Fight Club--don't talk about Bam Bam.
