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

Not sure what my pick would be, but I love exhibits and postcards. All Cobb RC postcards have shot up and one that went through the stratosphere would be the Gehrig Exhibits RC! So I wouldn’t dismiss those slightly bigger cards!

Even larger ones like cabinet cards can explode too: W600 Cobb!

I’ve always liked rare stuff. Some people may think only more common/iconic/mainstream type cards are the way to go. However with rare stuff , regardless of size, it doesn’t take nearly as much demand increase to move the needle in a big way price wise! It will be interesting to see where any future sales of a card like the 1914 BN Ruth go if any surface for sale!

I think the BN Ruth exceeds T206 Wagner on hammer price next time it comes up, by a healthy margin. $4,000,000+ maybe.

Many years ago both cards in a PSA 1 were sold in the same auction. Ruth went for $450K and Wagner for $400K. Just can't remember which auction house.

I would say Joe Dimaggio's Play Ball and Leaf cards stand a decent chance of rising due to the fact that he played a good portion of his career during the second dead-ball era for collecting (1936-47), and those are arguably the only good looking Dimaggio cards ever issued. On more of a modern take, I think the Jordan Nike Jumpman card that was issued with sneakers has a good chance to take off since it's a pre-rookie card (issued in 1985).

I'll bet your right about this, I didn't know they existed...seen the image but that's it, just was looking on ebay at sold listings and it does seem "cheap" from a gut feel approach. Also it seems cheap when compared relative to his generally accepted rc. Also just think of the historical significance of the jumpman silhouette as depicted on the card. *I do not currently have any interest in said card, just some ramblings on.

It certainly had huge potential a few years ago when I picked up mine. I am not sure it does now given the run that all of the legit Star cards are going to be on as PSA churns them out of the pipeline. Perhaps, if you could get in cheap and are able to hold for a few years.

One thing to note on these cards is that there are a ton of counterfeits out there. They are detectable, you just have to know what to look for. I would not buy one on the spur of the moment unless it was slabbed or I did my due diligence.
