agree that live cards pull in more than the redemptions (less uncertainty about not getting fulfilled)
but my broader point was that two Griffey live autos from "The Greats" (Topps Series 1) sold for $180. Blown away that Pedro sold for 3x that.
likewise that the Pedro on-card auto from Series 1 sold for 3x that from Series 2 (which I won at auction).
Obviously someone really really wanted this card and was willing to pay. It just made me say "holy cr*p" when I saw the end price. I called uncle at $250-ish.

Not too surprising. Sought after set, rookie card numbered to 100 (from the 90's to boot), and he has a good shot at HOF imo.
edit to add:Oh, and he's a Quarterback.

Could it be that Pedro has fewer autos available than Griffey does? Maybe only a small part of that, but for a long time, Griffey autos were in everything Upper Deck, whereas I don't recall Pedro having such a staggering array of autos. And that's not even taking into account the insanity of Sox fans, especially in connection to the 2004 team!

This still has 4 and a half days left to go but the price is already 2-3 times what this kind of card should sell for on eBay. Is it just me or does the price jumping up $120 with 17 bids in an hour and a half seem sketchy? The seller looks legit from feedback and what I've found on this board but I wouldn't be surprised if the person that had this card consigned decided to start shilling as early as possible.

Stargell expired redemption card from 2001 Fleer greats of the game. I recorded a sale in 2011 that went for $31. Now I regret not buying it for my set sooner! :-(2001 Greats of The Game Auto Redemption Willie Stargell | eBay

I grabbed it. It should go well with these two from the same set:
The sad thing is that those two cards combined cost me less than the Ethier/Kemp.

Congrats, I knew I wasn't even going to try on that card. Plus it had a Kemp auto and barrel so he is more the focus on that card.
