That's a big part of it.

There was a stretch where I was looking at pop reports (And yes, they're flawed so can only give a general idea of what's common and uncommon)
What I saw in T206s was that the HOF players were generally twice as common as a similar common. The only reason that makes much sense is that people grade them more often.

There are some really tough cards, even in some of the common backs.
