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

Take a good look at the guy sliding home on this T202. The position of his body, the size and shape of his back, the haircut, the belt loops, the pinstripes on the cap...... It's Ty Cobb. Compare to the attached known image of Cobb. It's the same guy, and someday, a documented image from that T202 card, either on a vintage photo, or in a newspaper or book, will confirm it. My guess as to why Cobb isn't identified on the back of the T202 is that he was out on the play, and Ty wouldn't have been happy with that citation.

This card might not increase 100x, but it has a good chance, in 10 years, of going from a common to a $5,000 card.

I’m curious Mark, has anyone identified the catcher in that T202 photo?

The back of the card says it's Sullivan, so White Sox, American League.

It may very well by Ty Cobb on the card.

But I'm not sure its related to the picture you have shown.

In the picture, the catcher is shin guards, and does not on the card.

I'm not saying it's from the same play, or the same game, or even the same opponent. I'm saying the runner is Cobb in both cases, and listed a half dozen similarities.

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds junk wax era Topps Tiffany cards. They are beautiful cards and SSP for the era.
