'52 Topps is an iconic set, and as mentioned before, nice cards are hard to come by. The '52 set is Topps first jump in the card business ( there are also '51 Topps red and Blue backs ). Nobody knew if the set would be popular, or flame out. The Black Back is likely more difficult to come by and more expensive. The Black Back was the very first print run, and contained cards 1-80. The second print run, and subsequent series, are Red Back. Add this in with the previous comments, and you arrive at some fairly expensive prices for the card.
