There has been a natural progression that a number of collectors have taken: cards to autographs to game used. I think this represents the fact that card companies were the first to overproduce/oversaturate the market, then it was the autograph business (although, with autographs, there is a maximum amount that can be produced, unlike cards), and now you are seeing teams/leagues turn this into a profit center (but, again, there is still a limit to the amount of items that can be produced).
I think as more collectors find relatively inexpensive ways into the hobby, you will see more people collecting game used. Just my .02
