I think the answer lies in design, quality, player selection and a direct tie to classic sets of the past. Also the fact that the seller knows what he is doing in terms of selecting key Negro League figures with no cardboard (or limited) history. These are more than a reprint like issue, to me they are a quasi-card/artwork/etc.
To me there are a lot of things in the hobby that boggle, it just depends on what you like. Print freaks, scrap, backs as opposed to fronts, it's a big tent. I don't find the prices being paid hard to believe at all.
