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

[abothebear]

1988 Big Topps Ken Griffey.
Ken Jr.'s first Topps card (he looks a little pale).
I've been stockpiling them, but I think there may be enough for y'all to get some too, if you act now.

No one wants to chime in on this?

If I can pump this bad boy up to even just a dollar in the next ten years, that's a 100x increase. Get in on the ground floor y'all, this elevator is going to the moon!

What would be most helpful would be to know what sport will gain most in popularity. Maybe 10 years from now, there are 100 million new cricket card collectors in India, or lacrosse has become more popular than ice hockey in the U.S., or there's a surge in interest for Winter Olympic history.

Imagine the ROI you'd have if you had bought up NBA RCs in the mid-1980s. I can think of quite a few of those cards that have increased 1000x since then, but I don't think the same is true of any popular vintage baseball cards. I doubt there are any baseball cards that already cost more than $10 and will increase a thousandfold over the next century, let alone the next decade.

It’s easy to say the “house hold” name cards will always stay on top. T206 Wagner, 1952 Topps Mantle, Babe Ruth anything etc. As much as we love type cards and oddball obscure cards & items they will always remain oddball items. I’ve noticed (and I’m sure all or most of you have too) Certain cards and sets run in hot streaks for a time or limited time for unknown reasons.. Example 1952 Topps Mantle, sales, highest graded auction blowout yadda yadda, drove this card’s popularity up (even more than it was) and also had the trickle down effect making collectors seek out his 51 bowman and other cards/issues as well. I have seen more 52 Topps mantles within the last 2 years than my entire lifetime.

T206s and CJ’s respectively take turns out front.

Pandemic and post pandemic besides everything going up, then down. I noticed a huge peak in price of the ex-Negro League players. (Jackie Satch etc) I fell victim of this particular player spike.

Pre-War & Vintage will always be in demand, but which card or sets will be leading the pack? This always changes, this is what I love about the hobby. Here are my honest opinions, to increase heavily over time. Again all vintage increases never decreases (usually)

T206 Wagner
1933 Goudey Ruth’s
1952 Topps Mantle
Rookie Year Jackie Robinson items

I just noticed that in REA’s current auction there is a Candace Parker rookie card. This is the first time I have seen a WNBA card in one of the major auctions and it is currently almost $3500 with the vig. I’m glad to see this happening and expect that it will become more common in the future.
