Rare Cards

Pretty much any limited run. You want to look at the hype surrounding them, and who produces them to see what the best bet is. Rare is meaningless if nobody wants it.
A good example of rare AND sought after cards include virtually any Fontaine deck, the gold and white gold Monarchs from T11, as well as Bee Watermelon cards from when they were printed in Cincinnati.
The closest deck that I could think of that are rare but not really sought after are the Dan and Dave Ace Fulton Chinatown cards, you can pick some up for under $20. Same with the Cardistry-Con 2016 cards.
I have a rare foil Charizard. It's a buyers market kid. You'll get whatever people will give for them. The value of custom decks are artificially created and controlled by the companies that make them because they know the marks will gladly step up and throw money at them for the decks.

It's pretty tough to predict what will be rare and/or spike in value. With SO MANY different decks coming out from different companies, kickstarters, etc. the market is super over saturated.
That said, you can't go wrong with Gold Monarchs. I've been paying attention to the market in those since they have come out and they are starting to see an uptick in secondary value.

Fun fact: There is actually no proof, in any of his writings, interviews, etc, that Barnum ever said that.
As far as I know, for now, the green, red, and blue (normal) Monarchs are unlimited edition.
Historically he didn't. The quote comes from the Musical. But there are still pleanty of people willing to believe that he did say it so it kind of ironically brings it back full circle.
Abraham Lincoln didn't say that. It's actually a misquote from Hamilton. And it wasn't 1994, Hamilton actually said it in 1993. Lincoln just plagiarized it but because of his greater fame history just gave him the credit.
