Memorabilia vs Cards and trends...

[Snapolit1]

Memorabilia is undervalued as compared to cards, and I see the prices as largely flat the last 2-3 years. Last night I was watching Heritage for the Gehrig Luckiest Man ticket stub that was on the block. I've seen a few of these the past few years and then all went around 30k, which is what last nights did. There are 7 or 8 of them graded. (Maybe another 7 or 8 ungraded?) From one of the most historic sporting events in American history. Yet some Jeter or Trout mass produced card will sell 4x that. Is very odd to me. Yet, there is nothing intrinsically cool about a ticket stub. In fact it's pretty damm boring. So I get that part of it. I don't collect bats, balls and gloves but to my mind there are literally thousands of them for sale every month. Some truly amazing pieces but many pretty pedestrian.

Fact that certain pieces of memorabilia are scarce or one of a kind likely ends up cutting against them at the end of day for creating a vibrant market.
