I definitely agree with you there, and that's why I like to see the trend. Not as a value thing (I didn't pay more for this Nagy card than for other E92s in similar condition), but as a sort of homage to important collectors before. As with coins or fine art, I definitely think it distinguishes a collectable to tell the story of it from collection to collection. Sure, if we could say the stories of the eight year old chewing on Dockman gum who first pulled the card, that would be cool, too. But in lieu of that impossible task, why not celebrate the people like us who searched high and low for the cards for their collection and were especially good or pioneering for the hobby?
