While I agree that the low numbers of the keys means they deserve their place among the top collectibles, I don't think stage used guitars or field worn jerseys compare to original art. 

Worn jerseys and stage used guitars would compare more to the desk where comics were drawn or the typewriter on which they were written.  Possibly creators' personal copies.  Maybe letters or memos about key moments of creation and forth.   Similar but not quite the same because unlike jerseys, bats or guitars the celeb comic creator isn't necessarily seen in public with the item.  But the day may come when Kirby's art desk brings a hefty sum.

In the meantime, the only thing I can think of, off the top of my head, that compares to original art in the rock world might be the hand-written lyrics for a classic song.   

I don't think there are any comparables in the sports world.   The genesis of Ruth's home run record is not something that still exists in tangible form.   It only exists in memory and as described in contemporary printed accounts.  But the genesis of Amazing Fantasy 15 is right there, in pencil and ink on paper, in the Smithsonian.

The comparison I was making was the FMV.

For some reason I have seen more Cap 1s missing a centerfold than any other GA key.

Two questions:

1. How much do you guys predict the Universal 9.4 and Conserved 7.0 will sell for in HA auction?

2. If you had the money to win either, which one would you prefer given what you predict the price tags will be?

1. ~$950k on the 9.4 Reilly. Maybe $100k on the 7.0 conserved. 

2.  Whether I had/have the $, I'll take the 9.4 Reilly all day long.
