For instance, if you were to plug in the original cost of a pack of baseball cards from back in the day, inflation would show a value of just a few dollars in todays money. Tell that to those that are currently paying millions for a single rare card, gum not included. Lol!

Your right oem4me, the CPI is about price of a generic gallon of milk or a generic hammer. A piece of Americana that is rare and desirable is a whole different ballgame. I'm old school, don't like paying collector car prices, still thinking it's used vehicle in outstanding condition price.
