It is getting interesting. Some of the stuff that was always around (even in small quantities) seems to be gone these days. I picked up the SK Rock auto for about $125 several years ago. I can see this one being worth more but I'm sure I could plan a trip to somehow meet the rock for less than 14k.

That's what collectable cards are supposed to do, go up in price. There are two big components though. First, it can't come out at a peak price that it will never again attain. Second, demand must go up, at least for periods of time, so that the buyer competition brings in both higher price points and lulls.

Jennifer Lopez is really a perfect example to use. She is the good looking, hot celebrity that has a lot of demand just on those merits. So she would be one of the better signers in any product, but then she fell off. She got a little older, her movies generally stunk, other women singers started to replace her, she was still well known, but turning into a Vegas lounge act.

Now she's HOT and back. The Super Bowl show is a big deal, she's marrying ARod, movies want her again. That her autographed cards are selling higher actually makes perfect sense for now, it's the way the hobby is supposed to work.

If you were to walk around trying to sell her autograph card for $250 or RDJ's for $1,500, which one do you think you'll sell faster? I know the one I'd buy if I had to.

An ungraded card from the same seller brought $999: 163929368192

I remember I was at the Philly Show over 15 years ago (with former cardtalk member, Dobby the house Elf, and he was debating on getting the Steve Irwin because it was 100 bucks. I remember he was able to grab it around 80 because he bought the Sleepy Hollow Danny Elfman auto with it.
