I'm unsure why the escalating prices, but I do know they are rising at a fast pace.

I agree with the vintage pen aspect. I paid at least a 50% premium for my Stargell signed rookie as it was signed in 1963 or 1964.

First off the Stargell is a exception because he passed away young. Modern cards a different animal all together, it's apples and oranges. I know I was always told not to get a nice card autograph. That if I wanted to have one signed I should use a beater. This is were I noticed the difference. You see a lot of vintagevsigned cards in excellent condition that are now bringing a premium.

I had a Stargell and. Rose both with rookie era signatures. I sold the Rose.
