If you were to win 25k for picking what group of card(s) would be worth the most five years from today what would you pick. Also pick what group would be worth the least.
Group 1 - 1963 Topps Pete Rose PSA 8
Group 2 - 1967 Tom Seaver PSA 8 and 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 8
Group 3 - 1970 Topps Willy Mays PSA 9, 1972 Hank Aaron PSA 9, 1972 Topps Willy Mays PSA 9, 1973 Topps Hank Aaron PSA 9, 1973 Topps Willy Mays PSA 9, 1974 Hank Aaron PSA 9, 1976 Topps Hank Aaron PSA 9.
Group 4 - 1973 Topps Mike Schmidt PSA 8, 1974 Topps Dave Parker PSA 9, 1974 Topps Dave Winfield PSA 9, 1975 Topps Gary Carter PSA 9, 1976 Topps Dennis Eckersley PSA 9, 1978 Topps Paul Molitor PSA 9, 1978 Topps Eddie Murray PSA 9, 1979 Topps Ozzie Smith PSA 9, and 1980 Topps Ricky Henderson PSA 9.
Please assume all cards were recently graded by PSA and all are centered and near the high end of their grade.

Group #4 more rookies. Least,comparitively speaking, #3
Who will pay me the 25K if I guess correctly?
I like Groups #1 and #2...vintage b4 1970 is in my wheelhouse.
So which is is the most and least valuable in 5 years in your opinion and thank you for responding.
2 for me. Easy decision.
How about the worst group for value in 5 years?
I might take a swing on Group 3 from the perspective of future value. My reason is I think older PSA 9s of top-tier players, Aaron and Mays qualify in a big way, could have a lot of upside and have a chance of big % increases because of scarcity and demand. The 8s of other players are real nice cards but not sure I see the drivers for large increase in value. Can be bought and appreciated but maybe increasing in value 8 to 15% year over year where a PSA 9 Aaron or Mays maybe 20 to 30%. When moods shift and there is a momentum feel in the hobby think they could increase even more as gottahaveit Heritage Memory Lane items.
Gets a little challenging with Group 4 and the quantity appeals but think the 9s are of less desired players than Mays and Aaron and are later.
Who is this Willy Mays you write about?
I've heard of Willie Mays, but never this Willy Mays.

Most appreciated Group #2…least Group #4.
Group 2. Ryan rookie will sky rocket in a few years . Already high
Group # 2.
I think group 2 for highest. Ryan is legendary and Seaver probably second best pitcher post integration.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I like 2 and 3. Coin toss but I’m going to say 2 to be safe.
Worth the most in 5 yrs...Group 2 (although 3 is close). Least growth in 5 yrs...Group 4.
For real. I just sold my 7 that I picked up at a show about 5 years ago. It had doubled in value since then.
I'd buy Group 2 just for the Ryan and the Seaver would be the sweetener that is also not going down. It won't climb like the Ryan but that's a solid card.
Quality over quantity always wins. You decide…
Lots of great replies guys thank you.
