It was listed for a long time, so I was surprised to see it sell -- in Terapeak it seems someone managed to buy one for $120 BIN last month -- which was a STEAL compared to recent sales.

I think a bigger factor is that his official Darth Vader auto cards have become increasingly difficult to find over the last couple of years. And when they do occasionally come up, at increasingly silly prices that make the Conan card look much more sensible.

True, but they always were more sensible, and yet the best card/best role mentality prevailed and kept his Conan card cheap for a very long time. He also has signatures in Americana without benefit of any screen character and they weren't hard to find. Now the demand for his autograph has gone up for all and it looks like even the Americana cards are asking over $300.

It is the combination of his Vader cards going up and also that he's headed for 92. Now that Harrison Ford turned 80, expect to see the prices of his autograph cards start to leap up again too. Because of the increased supply, he did take a minor dip, but I predict that Ford's best autograph cards are going to be breaking records soon.

It's just the way human nature works. Tell someone that something may stop being made and they suddenly have to have it, even if they never wanted it before.

He had a huge performance at a festival - Burning Man? But his name was in the spotlight for a little while, surely renewing interest.

The V Mars season 2 APW4 sold at auction 22 Sept US $38 with 17 bidders
On the UK auction site that is selling the Inkworks cardsThis card has at least doubled in value on this site
The seller must have every card produced for this set as they have been dribbling these APW cards for the last 4 or 5 years with the AWP4 Charisma Carpenter card being the most popular the auction price being $13 to $16 for the last few years
I won this set a long time ago for I think just over $30 for the 4 cards. Funnily the same seller is selling not auctioning the Redemption cards for this set at very high prices.
