It's kind of similar to what happened to the Tiger Woods Sports Illustrated for Kids "Rookie' card.
Early on it was his only real card from 1996 and was seen as being very scarce as many had been thrown out or wrecked by kids.
The value skyrocketed with a couple going for tens of thousands for high graded cards. Then slowly more and more found there way into the market as people heard of its "value" and people searched their piles of old magazines, which were previously looked at as worthless.
Then the value really dropped and is still very low compared to what it once was. I don't follow the sales prices that close, but I would think a slow gradual increase in price for that card could happen too as it still is a fairly scarce card of maybe the best golfer ever.
