The new year has brought a tremendous spike in the last three sales that I have tracked for this card. Take a look at the dramatic increase in sales. The economic crisis doesn’t seem to have affected this card, which I belive is one of top three autographed cards every produced.

1. 97 Bowmans Best MVP (and refractor/atomic refractor versions)
2. 98 Skybox Autographics (and blue version /50)
3. 00 UD MVP Prosign

I wonder if my previous Karl Malone post about this card had anything to do with people noticing it. I’m not claiming to have brought awareness to the card, but in a previous post I had, I was questioning why this card was selling for so cheap in 2008.

Steal of a Deal, Karl Malone.

For some reason, this is one of Karl Malone’s lower-selling autographed cards. Four things strike me as odd with this fact.
1. It is an early issue, from a known brand.
2. It is on-card.
3. It commemorates a tremendous accomplishment for The Mailman.
4. It wasn’t an easy card to pull.

Yet, with all these factors, it garners less online than some of his other autographs. I think it is a great card, yet it sells for relatively cheap. Hmm.. anyone think they know the reason why?
