I agree with the consensus below. I have seen the largest increase in Jackie's card.

There are tons of examples. Check the prices on early Jackie Robinson cards. Nosebleed city. The Hank Aaron RC has skyrocketed as has the Jim Brown rookie.

Couple days ago, Oct. 13th, a certain ebay auction business sold 6 of the '48 Jackie's. Like jeez, just when you think a scarce card then along comes a half dozen for sale ... on a single day. Demand obviously trumps supply.

Absolutely, those big numbers loosens the grip on cards like that for some, and for idiots like me, I grab it a little tighter, then put my PSA 4 Jackie in a coffee can under the bed.

Immediately after his death Kobe Bryant card prices spiked. Most of his cards have come down from their top prices and settled down some, but his top graded 1996 Topps Chrome has stayed around five times what it was back in December 2019.

If you're talking all sports, some soccer has gone insane. The Panini rookies of Messi and Ronaldo have seen a 10x increase or more during this price spike. Some other non big 4 (Tyson, Owens, Pele, etc.) have jumped as well but nothing lose those two.

Panini Silver Prizm base cards for Lebron James and Mike Trout have to near the top. Exponential growth curve in a year.

Pretty sure this is probably the correct answers as their percentage increases destroy all the others mentioned this far.

You know how people wish they had a time machine so they could go back to 1909 or 1910 and grab up some Wagners, Cobbs, etc.? These days, I wish I had a time machine that just took me back to April 2020!!!!

The question was about the largest % increase. The answer is probably not a very expensive card, just because an expensive card has to increase in value a lot more than an inexpensive one does to cover the same percentage increase. It's probably a card of some modern rookie who had a good year, that was selling for a nickel in April and goes for $10 now.

Check out 1981 Topps Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. PSA 10S went from $900 at the beginning of the year to over $10k!

Most painful "miss" for me. I kept waiting for the right time/card. Woops! I'll never own a really nice copy now. I have a short list of cards I wanted to add and they're all way out of my range now. Actually, collecting graded cards is over for me, it appears.
