I assume you're talking about autographs. I only know the T206 player autograph market, but I actually thought there were some deals to be had -- e.g., Mathewsons for $15k or less. I was VERY happy to have snagged the Miller Huggins for under $3,000. I haven't seen a Huggins for under $4,000 in the last 5 years of looking.
I guess I might consider Joe Kelley for $40k to be frustrating, so maybe you're referring to that one. But even an Eddie Plank signed check for $20,000 isn't totally crazy based on my expectations for signed Plank sales.
