Funny you should mention that site. A Ray Harroun autograph on a '61 Indy ticket stub closed above $1,000 in an eBay auction a couple weeks ago. From what I have read in the past, Harroun was brought back to the track that year to honor him on the 50th anniversary of his win. I know that Harroun is an iconic name from winning the first 500 (controversy over whether or not he really did win the 1911 500 aside), but I was surprised to see the auction close above $1,000. He lived until 1968, so his autograph is not as impossible as some of the winners who died shortly after their wins in the 1920s.
