The value of the hand signed card depends on the individual I think.If it is a card you want because you love that player then you would pay more then a player you don't like,everyone has there favourites and for some of us that have limited budgets and live a fair way from their team base it is a near impossibility to get hand signed cards.I would love to make it to a rabbitohs game to get some siggies but it would cost me probably over $500 to take a trip to sydney,accomodation,into the game etc,etc,which can be hard on a limited budget which is why I chase signed cards on here and on ebay,I know I will eventually get to a game one day in the future but until then its ozcard and e-bay,and I must admit I have seen some cards sell for ridiculous prices but as I said what I consider ridiculous may be a bargain to someone else.
