10, 50, ???, 2000 is my price guess.
And I agree with Genna, a very few chips will be very expensive, obviously some of the very first, these might go into the five digits while I am still alive - in that manner I collect for money (retirement funds:-).
But also some newer might be highly sought after somewhen, maybe a PPro or another chip that is strange - the haviest, the biggest, the flattest.
It is like stamps, some of the old stamps were mass-produced but mass destroyes, like the "Sachsen-Dreier" which was used to glue the address to the newspaper and thereby just a few survived.
Maybe one of the boring new BGA ones will be famous... |

| Give a gray trace C4004 another 30 years, and I'm sure they will be as Genna said. Look at all the stuff being auctioned for big prices today |

From eBay to Sotheby's...
Damn, I dunno if that will really happen, but I'm quite sure a C4004 is a better long-term investment than a bitcoin.  |

I think keeping one Intel C4004, preferably one with gray traces, is a better investment than one C4040, or 20 pcs of PPro, or 100 pcs of common 486. As the first CPU, it has a potential to be sold by one of those big auction houses, like Sotheby’s, for much more than a couple of thousand dollars.
