Ted,

I think the added value of Connors material is strictly due to his starring role in The Rifleman. Johnny Berardino never had his own starring vehicle, and his memorabilia prices are no greater than the average player's.

As to multi-sport players--Outside of HOFers (from any sport), very few seem to care. While guys like Cal Hubbard, George Halas and Greasy Neale carry obvious premiums, nobody cares much about Skip Roberge, Gene Conley or Howie Schultz.

To add to one of my previous thoughts, I think it's a safe bet that the price of Connors items will also dip with the passage of time. Once the target market is gone, so are the sales. We can only hope that this sentiment won't be indicative of the fate of pre-war baseball collecting as a whole.
