My opinion: the memorabilia and card markets are typically not tied to one another in any way other than "a rising tide lifts all boats."
I tend to think of a Venn diagram, with card people in one circle, autograph people in another circle, game worn in another, and memorabilia in a fourth - there are places they intersect, and certainly people who collect all four, but I don't think a run-up in one area negatively impacts prices in the other.
I wouldn't hesitate to run high-end memorabilia in an auction during a time when card prices were strong, and vice-versa.
