Count me as one of those people on junk era 10's. There is just so much unopened product and so many collections with ungraded cards that I personally think 10's from that era will be very common and easy to get in the future. Not 100% sure UD isn't still printing Griffey rookies.

I agree with you on those 10s..heck there are low end and high end 10s..whatever that means...

for now though the psa 10 game seems to be working well...some 1972 topps psa 10 commons sold for a ton last few days

Any rare 10 like the 1989 fleer glossy was not only print in low numbers and is very hard to find in good condition . Some of those card are definitely in a PSA bubble that is going to pop . But then who's to say that there is not a warehouse filled with 1952 topps and it not in the harbor

cards have to be rare..AND wanted...rare doesn't really mean much ..if not enough demand...there could be a hoard of t206 honus wagners too...

Cole B's great grandfather hoarded those I hear.

I'll never end up collecting them, but I think the 1991 Desert Shield set is one of the best modern sets. I hope they hold their value over time.

A lot of Topps Heritage will probably hold up over time also.

Agreed on both counts. Topps has nailed it with Heritage year in and year out. Beautiful cards, on-card autographs, and print runs that are attainable but not ridiculous.

I put together the full swath of Anthony Rendon cards from last year and enjoyed the search so much that I wound up opening a few boxes just for fun (I hardly ever buy boxes of anything these days)...wound up building the set, SPs and all. It was an absolute blast.

The the parallels are beautiful cards as well. I know this board isn't a huge fan of shiny stuff but the Black Refractors simply pop.

I even built the High Number series with all the SPs and action variations and a bunch of the color swaps. I can't be the only one--check out the prices for some of the random parallels on eBay--people really like putting these sets together.

I know I'm not breaking new ground here but yeah, I think Heritage has as good a shot as any as holding/gaining value over the years. This year's High Numbers series is chock full of great rookies that could really boom in the coming years.

The hardest and most expensive Topps sets for me to assemble from the 80s were the 82 Blackless, 84 Encased, 85 Minis ( especially in blank back), 88 Cloth and 89 Heads Up. The 91 Desert Shield was not too bad, but complicated due to the many counterfeits
