It's also a testament to junk wax that a totally rare occurrence of Pedro Martinez only having 1 RC issued by any company (91 Upper Deck Final) can be had raw for a couple bucks and a PSA 10 for around $40.

Top 20 all-time pitcher, no other option but this for his RC...$40 for what is considered a "best of the best" example.
While not as valuable, the market is similar to the '86 Fleer Jordan. There are 50,000+ graded copies of that card, but the demand will never die. Meanwhile, Barkley, Olajuwon, Malone, Stockton, etc. can be had for cheap.
