Aside from everything else, these men have also been brought even further to the forefront because of the movie. Background and everything else considered, a movie can add even more to the charm of a collectible or card. Take James Braddock as an example, yes, his story was nice, and yes, he was once the heavyweight champ, but the "Cinderella Man" took him from falling into obscurity(with the exception of the boxing die-hards), to once again a household name... Braddock's stuff took a pretty nice spike in price after the movie came out. I imagine "Eight Men Out" had a similar effect on the Black Sox collectibles. Obviously, not quite to the extent of Braddock, but similar nonetheless.
