I once had a Mickey Mantle (unsigned) baseball card.

I think I ended up using it on my bicycle with a clothes

Nyssa, who figures easy come, easy go and by now the
card probably wouldn't be in any condition to get that
windfall profit from it anyway even if it hadn't been
used on her bike

A Mickey Mantle single signed baseball is worth about $500. -$800.
A Mickey Mantle signed Photo is worth about $150.

Like everything else that is highly valued it is the rarity of the
item and the fact that at least one person really wants it and is
willing to pay that much.

It's like this six million dollar necklace. So long as someone is
willing to pay that much it's worth that. At least to that person
while I would be willing to pay $1.50 at most.

Due to the growing popularity, my car is now "worth" about twice as
much (based on local auction prices) as I paid for it nearly 25 years
ago ... meanwhile the insurance company only thinks it's worth about
1/6th of what I paid for it due to depreciation, so replacing it would
be impossible.

Houses are a similar problem. The local council bases their residential
taxes on the value of the house and land - a rather stupid approach,
but their valuations are lower than what the houses are selling for, in
many cases a lot lower. It's also what insurance companies use, so
therefore under valued and under insured as well.

My dad’s boss owned the Yankees at the time. I think we can assume the

Maybe, but there's numerous comedy movies / TV shows where someone has
accidentally cleaned the baseball and then had to attempt to fake the
signature back onto it. ;-)
