Lot's of room for 'error'.

For other memorabilia I think it has a lot to do with sizes, shapes, lack of "sets", numerous reasons.

Yes, thanks for reading between the lines, I did mean game used memorabilia.

And, yes, I see your point. It reminds me of the Babe Ruth bat that auctioned a year ago that was labeled as the "called shot" game used bat. Lots of guys here argued that it wasn't THAT bat, but the auction price proved others wanted to believe it was special.
