On the prewar front, a scarce variation or "new" SP ferreted out by close examination of population reports and images. Tobacco card scholars seem to pull this rabbit out of a hat every few years.
For mid-20th century, HOF Negro Leaguers should see their significant cards move up as they become better appreciated by collectors expanding beyond modern. I'd buy those guys in nice condition over Jackie, given an opportunity, since you'll always be able to find a Robinson online.
For modern, low-pop RCs of young guys with good-to-great performance over the past few years who peak even higher by 2026. Vlad Jr.? Rafael Devers? Bo Bichette? Gunnar Henderson?
