Pure hype is why that card sold. Competition is why the prices are currently inflated.

Cycle is an uncommon back for T205 but not a truly rare back. Every Cycle back Mathewson contains this error. I have owned at least 3 Cycle back Mattys over the years so they are not terribly rare. Collectors (myself included) who want a master set are now in need of this card has driven the price up somewhat. I do think that $9000 is horribly inflated. The price is still somewhat inflated but it should not command that kind of premium.
