How much value does the community put on provenance? If there are two identical cards and one has a unique provenance (e.g. card collected by an athlete), is there a range of premium that should be placed on the card?
As an example, with the recent controversy with Giannis Antetokounmpo's 64-point game ball, would there be more value if the Pacer's versus Giannis himself would bring the ball to auction?
What if Giannis sold his own rookie card versus a random collector or auction house?
With so many different definitions of "value," where does provenance rank in how you value a card or collectible asset?
