I have been saying this for a while now. With cardtarget and vcp it makes sense to look at past sales along with pop reports. Pop reports can be wrong due to cards being submitted multiple times and some cards never getting slabbed. Yet when you use that info along with the sales reports you can get a better picture of what you may see in the future. Neither method alone can give you a full picture. Because past sales don't show cards sold in lots or just because you see 3 sales lately doesn't mean they are 3 different cards it could just be two buyers that tried to flip the same card until it ended up in a collection.
There is so much more info now that can be used to come up with a full picture.
As far as the pratt I fully believe the value is higher because of the particular image is rarer due to only being in the '14 set. There are many collectors that don't give priority to the back that just want one of each image. So the images that are only found in either set go for higher prices, then you add on top of that the limited sales of the '14 Pratt it will lead to higher prices.
