Exception for those who scoop up mislabeled or unknown (at the time) rarities at release. There are several breakers out there who miss the small variations that Heritage offers, and there are opportunities to pounce early.
This is less true now that Heritage has started labeling the variations (albeit in the smallest font possible). In years past, I have seen several throwbacks sell for under $10 in the first few days after release because the seller didn’t know it was a variation.
Another good example are the SP Adell and Walker base autos in Bowman. The first few sales were low because the SP nature of the card weren’t known at the time. While neither player is currently hot, those initial buys are still lower than current sales
