Everyone wants a star because that is where the most demand is that gets the highest prices, but there are common signers and there are common signers.

The guy whose holding the third spear from the left and never had a line in his biggest role is a common signer. On the other hand, some of my favorite autographs and best signature card bargains are from actors whose cards were commons in their respective sets or in other lesser known titles.

As an example here I would use Eric Roberts, because his Master autograph card is better than a common Who card and he is one of the few actors I am familiar with. Yet Roberts has signed in a couple of sets before where he would not be considered much higher than a common and is much cheaper. This product, being fairly expensive, having skipped boxes on the autograph cards and a long list of signers elevates even common signatures to a higher level. Whether or not collectors want to pay a premium price for a common just because of the product is a different subject.

Most probably would not except in cases where people are trying to complete as much as possible. Then there is a demand even for the commonest of commons because it is still needed to fill in the run.

A lot of very good and very familiar character actors and recognizable guest stars turn up as common autograph cards. Of course any card collector wants to own some of the best cards, but a true collection should be a bit more than just the best money can buy. It should reflect a certain focus and personal preference, which leaves a big space to be filled by the common card, be it the lowly base card or that common hit.

Not that I want to keep pulling common hits, because I don't.
