1952 Topps set question?

So, in your example, your HOF rookie card is worth 400 times what a common card goes for. You are predicting that in 20 years, the multiple will be 800 times.

Others on Net54 have made similar comments. My question is, why do you think that? What you are saying in essence is that HOF RC cards will double in value relative to commons. What are you expecting will cause that?

Historical trends continuing, at least in collector grade cards.

I already pointed out on this board multiple instances of PSA 8 commons from 1952 Topps dropping thousands of dollars in value a decade ago over a spam of a couple of years.

But demand remains on stars, hall of famers, and errors like the Yellow Tiger House because of their names staying in the national consciousness. The Grady Hattons of the world don't move the needle.
