No. Not saying every card will hold its value. That's not true for anything.

When I was growing up a few dads collected stamps and coins. Yes, the run of the mill stuff has not appreciated. The rare stuff has. And believe me people are more emotionally invested in baseball cards than airmail stamps.
The market for antique furniture has pretty much collapsed. Anyone I know who were collectors or dealers for a long period of time say the same exact thing- the antique market is dead. Not everything goes up forever.
