I think everyone is familiar with something being priced high even though it's not rare, but the 1989 Ken Griffey Jr in "8" condition bringing $75-$100 regularly and easily should drive home just how much owning an iconic card means to collectors.
If the 100 zillion 89 UD Griffey Jr cards out in the wild can still fetch such an outrageous premium for arguably the most printed, over/re-printed, carefully saved, and available 89 UD card ever made then nothing should be too shocking in comparison.
Technically, everyone who has ever wanted the iconic 89 UD Griffey Jr card should be able to get one nearly as cheaply as the "not worth grading" 1991 Upper Deck Pedro Martinez, his only RC in any set...but realistically, not happening.
