oh yes, these companies have bloated the item values big time by locking up some of the athletes to contracts and charging what they want. Mid 200's for Aaron and Mays? C'mon, even people with plenty of disposable income are looking at that twice...not because they can't afford it, but because they are tired of being raped. As for manufactured memorabilia, well, if they are destroying items to put on cards etc, then I'm against it. I do, however, like well put together items, like multiple signatures matted and put together to make a team display...but that's more for display purposes rather than value, at least for me.
