It has appeared for the past decade, and increasingly the past two years, that the market is shifting from cards and autos, to game used.
The present generation gets pictures of players, and statistics, from the internet, less of a need for cards. In fact it seems that cards often sell today as a legal gambling mechanism, for young people to possibly obtain part of a game used jersey.
Game used puts you in the game, and are rare, even today, especially in comparison with cards and autos. Even if Steiner has Jeter in a different jersey every few games, there still won't be more than 30-50 a year. Jeter can sign 30-50 autographs in 5 minutes, and cards can be printed and printed.
The Aaron jersey price was great, and reflective of a strong game used market, and in the long run, may prove to have been a smart financial purchase.
