Sort of a follow up to a thread that ran in the hockey section that mentioned this particular card

That's definately impressive, but if that print run is true (and no one really knows at this point) it's not much of a surprise. To put things in perspective, over on the non-sports side a "very limited" auto is something with a print run of 150-200 and a card that rare will pretty much always clear at least $100, it's a far cry from what a print run that high would realize in the sports market.

The key difference being that these folks don't have an auto in every product most only have 1 or 2 auto cards out there.

On a related Star Wars lunacy note, check out this auction for a sketch card

that's wild... i like the auto set, but it's too bad that Mark Hamill and George Lucas aren't included... or even Billy Dee Williams (Lando) or James Earl Jones.

Billy Dee Williams, what a guy!

Some amazing sales there! That makes total sense in regard to what Josh said about print runs and actual number of cards issued of a person on the market.

Imagine Gretzky with only 3 or 4 autos issued at 200-300 in a print run.
