Rolex watches are supposed to increase in value so one of these would be cool. I would probably be silly enough to wear it everyday and beat the BLEEP out of it.

From my study of watches, prices are a sometimes irrational function of the combination of component quality, manufacturing quality, and pure brand/snob appeal. There are many superb watches that cost next to nothing. Conversely, there are many watches whose cost is almost wholly due to the brand appeal.

Comics or cars
Both mentioned before. Comics - high grade bronze Ave first appearances and key first issues (the better silver Are books are more than 50k already). Probably still get a good muscle car for around 50k.

Retro video games from the 80s.
They are surprisingly collectable in similar ways to cards. You have set builders trying to collect every game for the Atari 2600, etc. You have high end rollers chasing down the short printed rarities. And you have the same nostalgia factor that fed the baseball card boom: video games are to kids from the eighties what cards were to kids in the 50s. Price wise though they haven’t caught up with cards, the holy grails still sell for just 5 figures rather than 7 figures like cards, stamps, comics,etc. There is a lot of potential for that to take off once the millenial generation actually starts getting money.

Well I don't know about myself, but a gentleman in the Greater Spokane area who owned an antique store was really into Pickle Castors. Never heard of them? They are fancy jars to put pickles in. Late 1800s, early 1900s. Sold in the Sears Roebuck catalogs. All different levels of silver plate, and decorations. Today, mint specimens can sell over $1000. This guys antique store probably had 20-30 examples. They were fascinating - really ornate. But I always wondered who would buy one?....well my wife did. But it was cracked, so she paid something like $150-200.

Millenials are a bit young for the 2600 specifically, but are right for later consoles like the NES or Genesis, which are also massively popular among collectors.

What do a ton of kids have an attachment to today?
iPads, iPhones. I think original copies in 30 years will be super hot. Will an operating system even be functional then? I don't know and that would be a huge factor but it's something different that I haven't heard discussed.

I collect Confederate Civil War artifacts. Rare, as the CSA produced fewer items than their northern counterparts, and much more of it was destroyed during/after the war. There is also a big market for GAR encampment ribbons and medals. Lately I’ve been adding signatures of Union generals which still sell surprisingly cheap (in part because the Union had many generals at various levels)
