The Jane Goodall Tribute set is a promotional item, which tends to give it a higher chance of appreciation after retirement. Its unique theme and association with a well-respected figure like Jane Goodall make it appealing to collectors. The relatively low piece count and original price point may limit its potential for exponential growth, but its uniqueness and the rising price trend suggest it will likely hold and increase in value over time.
