Default Scarcity and Value Cards vs Memorabilia

Posted By: Mike H

Another point to consider is awareness Jason. You had never seen or heard of your book prior to discovering it. Everyone knows about OJs, Mantle rookies, and t206. If you could somehow make everyone interested in baseball history aware of a particular outstanding and visually appealling book, it would have more value because some would have an interest. A piece that isn't known is a piece of little monitary value. That can change, but is not likely to change at a rate that will meaningfully impact the sale price of many pieces of memorabilia. I love the unique item with that "look" but if I don't see it I don't buy it.
