⚠️ What This Spread Shows — and Why It’s Useful for Collectors

  • The rarity and uniqueness of a card dramatically affects its price: one-of-one (1/1) or extremely limited-run cards (especially rookies with autograph or game-used patches) can fetch millions.

  • Newer or mass-produced cards — especially ungraded or common base cards — can be just a few dollars.

  • Cards from top players (like Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady) tend to hold higher floor values, but condition, print run, and features (auto, patch, numbering) matter a lot.

  • This gap shows the hobby isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a spectrum from cheap fun/souvenirs up to ultra-rare investments.
