What single card do you think will increase in value the most in 10 years

[Peter_Spaeth]

Jay's choice at least explains the path by which this could happen. On so many other answers, especially for baseball cards, and I am guilty of this as well, there seems to be some assumption that future generations are going to somehow make a more realistic assessment than the present one, and so cards in the future won't be mispriced/undervalued. But what's the basis for that? I mean every few months someone starts a thread about undervalued cards and players and we always hear about Foxx and Collins and Spahn and Musial, but decades go by and they are STILL undervalued. What's gonna change?

If I had to pick 1 card I would guess the star 101 Jordan. If it has to be baseball, 51 Mantle. Like Peter I highly doubt under appreciated players will suddenly sky rocket. The only player I would guess this could happen with is Satchel Paige.

This has been in the back of my mind for a while. It's natural for people to ask on forums "Is Musial underrated???", because when you compare his stats with, say, Mantle, it's extremely obvious that Mantle was not 50x-100x the player than Musial was. So the price discrepancy between the two seems nonsensical.

But, on-field performance is only one element that drives demand. Everyone worth a ton is an all-time great, but not every all-time great is worth a ton.

I think Musial’s kindness and accessibility hurts his value in the autograph realm too. He’s fairly cheap because he was so gracious with fans.

Same with Warren Spahn.

And Feller. When I see a card of him I expect to see it signed. Also a guy who doesn't quite get the card respect that his record would suggest.

lump Lou Brock into this category. Possibly Harmon Killebrew also. Al Kaline, too? I always hear great stories about each of these three.
