What bow do you feel will be a Collector bow of the future. I am impressed with the way Bear bows have kept their interest over the years considering they were not hard to find. So does a limited production mean anything or maybe a bow that was super but was only made for about a year or so. How about a self bow made by a true master.
Longstick I have a selfbow being made as I post, all selfbows are TRUE one-offs with no 2 alike.

Among the trad archery community, I think, yes, a John Strunk selfbow would likely be a collectible. Also likely Hill bows made by masters. Some of the well known high end bows too?
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the premier customs being made today, the ones made by one artisan in their own shop, will someday be collectibles. Of course someday is a pretty vague time reference.
I have to think the bows made by Jerry at Great Northern will be collectors someday. He cannot make them forever. He is a true craftsman and when he retires it will not be the same.
I think the Robertson Wolfie will keep most of its value.
I think David Millers convex/concave Hawk and Expedition bows will be collectible in the future, not to many made, they are very labor intensive and priced accordingly but they are truly works of art that shoot as good as they look.
Dale Dyes especially the ones with pierce points.
Two bows that come to mind are Tice and Watts and the Savage Deathmaster.
