Like said in a earlier post all it take is a couple people hyping them up and pretty soon people think they got to have them.
I mainly collect error cards and have for 25+ years so I have seen this happen with error cards many many times. Sometimes the hype lasts a few years and sometimes it is very short lived.
As a avid 89 Fleer Bill Ripken collector I have seen the hype and crazy prices come and go several times on the same exact card. It truly amazes me but I have learned to buy them when the hype dies and sell when people just gotta have them.
To keep in the T206 card discussion. It was not that long ago that top/bottom name cards pulled a premium. Now not so much.
