In the collecting realm, it is all about supply RELATIVE to demand. All sorts of cards that are far more rare and similar in condition to the 1952 Topps Pafko and/or Mantle, sell for and are valued at lower price levels.
On the otherhand, high demand and the hype that surrounds it, leads to many over-zealous purchases and that IS reflected in the overall cost of any high demand collectable.
This was a classic example.
