This story highlights something that seems to be true with not only memorabilia, but also cards - they peak in value the moment they're released.

When my son was real young, he was into cards. We'd buy packs and boxes. Couple decent cards I checked the prices, they were good, so I held on. Even just a year later, they were a fraction. And that had nothing to do with player performance. Yeah, that 1/1 is great now, but next year that same player will have another 1/1 released and the I one cares about yours anymore.
