Agreed... and by the way where do I get the "special edition tripple pink pokadot numbered versions"? - I laughed to myself on that because I remembered when there were just the occasional "gold" parallels :) - Becky

Gosh, I didn't even consider inflation in my thinking, but you're right that that will be a factor.

The dollar value will rise due to the devaluation of the currency caused by inflation. Whether it outpaces inflation is the question.

I'm curious about something:

Will modern-day rookie cards (e.g. McDavid YG 201, etc.) appreciate over the years as have rookie cards of the past?

With the present-day mechanics of cataloguing, grading, etc. taking some of the mystique out of The Hobby (good, bad, or indifferent), is there any reason to believe that a $2,000 card today will be worth tens of thousands in 40 years?

If this conversation has happened already in this forum, please forgive me and point me to it; I searched but didn't quite find a comparable thread. Thanks!
