The Old Supreme Court Building, as a retired set from the Cities of Wonders series, has moderate investment potential. Its appeal lies in its architectural subject matter and manageable size, making it attractive to collectors of landmark models. While not a high-value set, its limited availability post-retirement could lead to gradual appreciation, especially if the Cities of Wonders theme gains renewed interest.
