There's an air of mystery to them IMO, as the base autos are never numbered (and only in the last couple of years have they even had numbered parallels other than the original rainbow foil /10's from the early 00's), and Topps would only announce print runs on a limited basis.

The first TAA's from 2001/02, where the '01 autos of all-time legends are all SP /50, routinely go for over 1K (when and if they do show up). Then the /50, /40, /10 and less print runs of the original FFA's of 2003-2005, all way to the current Archives era SP's of Aaron & Koufax, and RC's of Bryant and Harper, FFA's have their own personality, and own subset of collectors such as myself.

I think having the Judge added to the legend of the Bryant and Harper, even if parallel'ed to death and not as SSSP as them, makes it one of the go to RC autos for Judge. I was regretting spending $200+ a few weeks ago on it, but now it's already PSA 9'ed and sitting on the second shelf of my display case next to my other SP's Yankee FFA's and it fits in perfectly, and I hope for many more years to come.

The nostalgia level on archives autos is huge and a ton of people collect the base auto sets. I collect archives autos of guys from when I was a kid (So players from the late 90s and early 2000s) and some of these cards are SSSP and go for a ton of money when they do pop up. I've been on ebay basically every day for the last 2 years and haven't even seen one 2014 Jose Canseco listed (and I know the card exists thanks to Mouschi.) So yeah, these are highly desirable and collectible cards. I'm kicking myself for not buying a Judge when they were 250 bucks because i can't afford one now and I REALLY wish i had one.

There is no comparison aesthetically between Archives and Heritage. I own neither btw.

I have none either. I have some paper from 2013 & 2017. No autos.

Unsure how to embed youtube videos, but this video is fun to watch:
