Hal LewisI think the difference in price between the sets is due mostly to the NUMBER of cards available from each set.
All of the type card collectors wants a card from each set... but there are MANY MANY MORE cards available from the Alleghany set than there are from the Alphas.
Also, since the Alleghany's have been out there in circulation for several years now while the Alphas were all "locked up"... the "demand" for the Alphas was able to grow during the years when the hobby took off.
In other words... anyone who really wanted an Alleghany card ALREADY GOT ONE back when cards were a lot cheaper than they are now.
Not true for the Alphas. It's now or never.
