Not to quibble too much here, but I suspect it makes a difference that you’re a lot more adventurous than the average collector when it comes to moving pretty freely between different eras, sports, and flavors (ie cards, memorabilia, pins, tickets, foreign stuff, etc.). With all of those options, there’s plenty of relatively underloved pieces to choose from in trying to guess what might catch fire in the coming years.

Maybe I’m just the boring collector who sticks to a single era, mostly collects a handful of specific players and well-known and well-loved issues, and doesn’t really venture outside of those parameters. So unless I’m going to make a big bet on junk era wax catching fire and tripling in price, there are a lot fewer variables that could drive my possible results in terms of stuff going nuts and taking off.

Whereas I consider "focus" to be a dirty word. Picked up a NASCAR collection last week:

1962 and 1972 Richard Petty postcards



The 1972 is signed.

I’m no Economist, but holding all things constant, I’m hopeful the US economy continues to chug along creating wealth, unemployment remains relatively low, and the retiring baby boomer generation, new economy entrants, entrepreneurs and highly compensated employees pump money into the economy. Thus grow discretionary income for more charitable giving, as well as volume and price increasing collectibles purchase and enjoyment.

I mostly look at pre war and some early post war cards. Of those, I think the best ones will rise but not as much as they have. Also, not sure if any of the grading, trimmimg etc.. issues will ever impact prices? Probably not.

I agree. Prewar is blue chip. Collectors have fled to value over the last year or so, and us dinosaurs are reaping the (mostly psychological--most of us ain't selling) benefits now. How long it will go on and how sticky the prices will be? Who can say. Right now, though
