The 2nd most collectable bike to me is a Pop Brennan.
The first is a secret until I get one.
Prices are all about supply and demand so the highest priced has high demand. Luckily I have weird taste.
But someday I'll have a Herse and a 60s Cinelli to fall in line with convention as there the only problems have been opportunity and funds.
