Thanks for providing the comparison prices which are helpful.
That being said, I believe that the $1500 price of the Molitor 3,000th hit game is a very good measuring stick (excluding the GU bat) as a first glance.
I'm curious if this Molitor auction had both home and visiting umpire lineup cards like you have for Brett. Obviously this would have a major bearing on valuation. Both Brett & Molitor are HOF'er 3,000 hit guys although I would definitely give the edge to Brett on popularity.

I checked back and it was actually the dugout card, so it may not be the best comparison. (It also sold from Collect Auctions, which is definitely not an auction house I hear mentioned a lot). Link is below.
I have no plans on selling it. I believe it is the most significant game card (I also have the Braves lineup card from Glavine's first win and carbon copies from Niekro's 300th win, along with some WS line-up cards from the 90's.) I certainly paid the most.

edit: Just came across the Young dugout lineup card which went for a hair under $2k at a Mears auction. Not sure how to compare the dugout lineup cards with the manager versions though...
