Four of the hottest cards on auction have been Steve Nash's top RC cards from 96-97: Topps Chrome (Base & Ref) and Skybox Autographics Auto (Black & Blue Ink). Here is some recent data from actual sales:

• Topps Chrome - Avg Price $28.99 (96.6% of $30 BV)
• Topps Chrome Ref - Avg Price $277.31 (231.1% of $120 BV)
• Skybox Autographics Auto Blk Ink - Avg Price $360.57 (144.2% of $250 BV)
• Skybox Autographics Auto Blue Ink - Price $461.50 (92.3% of $500 BV) - only 1 sale

Nash's lower & middle end RCs have not enjoyed the same high % of BV sales. Many of them (i.e. Finest, SP, Bowman's Best, etc) have been selling for heavily discounted prices.
