I had thought about this for a while, then the Johnny Depp thread reminded me of it for some reason.

Sure, sports has their Gretzkys and Jordans, but what about the non-sports cards? I thought I'd try and get a list of what people thought were some of the more expensive autos out there. Mine below is in no way comprehensive, and I know I'm missing alot.

Ones I know of off the top of my head:
Tomb Raider - Angelina Jolie
Tomb Raider 2 - Angelina Jolie
Jericho - Skeet Ulrich
Veronica Mars s1 - Kristen Bell
Veronica Mars s2 - Kristen Bell
Family Guy s1 - Seth McFarlane
Alias s1 - Jennifer Garner
Alias s2 - Jennifer Garner
Lost s1 - Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, Maggie Grace
Lost Revelations: Yunjin Kim,
Lost s2 - Yunjim Kim, Emilie de Ravin, Michael Emerson
Lost s3 - Greg Grunberg (auto prop card)
Transformers: Movie - Megan Fox
Indiana Jones Heritage - Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas
Indiana Jones KotCS - Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, the triple with all 3
Men in Blank II - Tommy Lee Jones
X-Files s6&7 - Gillian Anderson
X-Files Connections - Gillian Anderson; Auto Pieceworks Anderson
X-Files - I Want to Believe - Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, dual Anderson/Duchovny (retailer incentive)
Hellboy - Guillermo Del Toro, Ron Perlman
Dark Angel - Jessica Alba, James Cameron
X-Men - Anna Paquin
X-Men 3 - Hugh Jackman
Batman Begins - Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes
Iron Man - Robert Downey Jr, Jeff Bridges
Star Wars Heritage - Carrie Fisher (I'm sure I'm missing a LOT from SW sets!)
Heroes s1 - Hayden Panettiere


I admittedly have no knowledge of any of the following:
Star Trek
Angel
Buffy
any of the many James Bonds
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
 
A few off the top of my head:

Star Wars 30th - Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew
Spiderman 3 - Tobey Maguire

I'd touch base with Bond, but I'm not 100% up to speed on what's SSP and what isn't. From my earlier review of Rittenhouse's website, they did discuss the short print autos for all of their products... not sure if Inkworks does the same?
 
Inkworks announces SPs sometimes, but it seems to be more for the Pieceworks, from my experience. That's not to say they don't have them, but they're sort of like ITG when it comes to that. Case in point, I don't they were officially announced as such, but for Lost Season 2, I paid about $100 each for Kim, de Ravin, and Emerson.
 
Charmed - Alyssa Milano, Shannon Doherty, Rose McGowan, Holly Marie Combs
X-Men 3 - there's also Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammar
Heroes 2 - Ali Larter
Battlestar Galactica - Tricia Helfer, Lucy Lawless

I'm sure there's plenty of more that I can't remember this morning, but that's some more to the list. For the most part it's the key lead characters to any show/movie. In most cases these are also the ones that are SP'd. As mentioned Rittenhouse releases their lists of SP and SSP'd cards, Inkworks generally does not. Key to point out though that in the case of Rittenhouse the SSP isn't like hockey where it's 10 copies, it's generally 100-150 cards, and because there's usually a couple of SSP's they are usually one per case. In this case price isn't as closely tied to rarity as it is to popularity. As an example there are a lot of people buying Angelina Jolie auto cards that have no interest in the rest of the Tomb Raider set. Add to that the fact that she only has 2 certified auto's and then you can understand the price..... I mean imagine if there were only 2 Gretzky autos on the market each with a print run of 150 - get out the credit card!!
 
Star Wars Heritage - Mark Hamill...at one point was a $1,500 - $1,000 card.

Superman Returns - Kevin Spacey is the big one and sells for up to $1,000.

007 Die Another Day - John Cleese sells between $500 and $700 (I sold one for $700+ a while back).

I think with these non sports autos, the fact remains that some of these actors are simply NOT accessible. John Cleese? Impossible to get him to sign something. Harrison Ford doesn't sign at all. I think he did the Topps deal as a favour to a friend although I heard that Topps donated money to his charity in return for the signatures. This is why I'm making my switch. Too much crap going on in sports (photo shoot worn jerseys for one) and non-sports is just about to start growing.
