I think that, more than anything sets the value of any modern autograph from the 1980's thru today.

Older autographs from players that either did not sign a lot from the 1980s on, or were unable to because they were deceased, the value of their autographs are more dependent upon a true market value. That's whay many of these "under valued" autographs can be had for a price way under players like Aaron, Mays, Jeter, etc...
100% correct. One wonders how many Jeters are really selling at the $500+ Steiner retail price. I suspect the inventory is in no risk of being depleted anytime this decade.
