That's more wishful thinking that ties up funds that could be better invested in things for your collection already showing a positive direction with regards to holding a premium, that are under-valued and currently ignored by other collections and possibly things from emerging areas trending among collectors. If all you are looking for is something of value that you can say is worth more than face that you can get for face value currently, then ask yourself why everyone else isn't doing it and why there isn't a demand limiting access to these things. And why isn't there a premium out there for it now, rather than a supposed 80-year wait for your return on investment. Age alone doesn't increase collectibles' values. Rarity and demand for rare items, and peoples willingness and access to possess such things drives premiums on some things, some of the time. The printages of $100-star notes from much earlier series were much less, and there were fewer people putting them away than there are of $100-star notes being printed today and for how many people are more aware of them and looking for such things to tuck away, without knowing whether there will ever be a future market for them, and one which would support much more of them in that market if it were ever to emerge.[/QUOTE]
