Supply vs demand.
There isn't a huge lineup to land autographs of Fergie Jenkins or Andre Dawson. Couple that with the sheer amount of autographs they have, and you can see why you got their cards so cheap.
There are gamblers lined up to buy a finite amount of autographs of the flavour of the week. They drive the ridiculous prices of prospect cards and while eventually they may lose 90% of the value of their gamble, you'll never lose 90% of the value of your purchase.
