I learned a lot during my quest for an Astros ball - ended up getting a 1967 ball, signed right after Eddie Mathews was traded, so it was a little cheaper. Thought I had won a 1970 ball, but the price was driven up because it was signed right before Joe Pepitone was traded to the Cubs. Seemed like small details at the time, but I think that's why they went higher.
A recent Astros ball also had Neil Armstrong's signature, so I didn't even add it to my watch list, knowing it's price would be astronautomical.
