Another aspect of it was this:

Before the mid-1990s, card collecting and autograph collecting were really, two separate things. The mind-set was that card collectors wanted their cards "as-issued", and autograph collectors just wanted the autograph. Someone looking for a Mantle autograph wouldn't pay the higher price for the card, when an 8x10 photo was just as good.

Now that card companies are doing pack-issued autographed cards, it's served to bring the two separate areas (card collecting / autograph collecting), together.
