In some cases, only a handful of T206's exist in signed form (with maybe 15-20 different subjects of the 524 to ever show up in signed form) and that transforms a common signature (say George McBride VG valued at about $40) that is valued in index card form in $15-30 range, into a $400 signed card.

The signatures you mentioned for the most part range out at about the McBride (a tad more for Wheat).

Just a slight correction, there are about 50 different signed T206 subjects known.
