As the discussion has evolved from the existence of future cards to the value of cards in the future, I can't resist offering the view that the vast majority of cards produced in the future, as with the cards produced over the last 30+ years, will fail to retain their original retail value. Once cards became "collectibles," the manufacturers simply began to issue far too many for demand to keep up with supply.
And, I don't think "insert" cards will offer an exception in the vast majority of cases because a short supply based upon manufacturing contrivance does not have the same relationship to demand as a genuine short supply based upon the passage of time, as with vintage cards. So, for example, while a 1/1 Strasburg autograph card might have once brought serious money, I would suspect that, over time, its value (even assuming his future prominence) would decline substantially due to the ready supply of other Strasburg autograph cards.
