There's stories why the Pafko commands such a premium (10x over other '52 commons), but they certainly are not in short supply. And the premium is not just for higher condition examples. Anyway, I can now cross Mr. Pafko off the list.

Congrats.
I remember finally obtaining my copy and thinking the price I paid was likely up there too, but they have only increased since then, based on what I occasionally watch.
I think the fact, which you've likely read, is because it is the first card in the set/series and therefore is very tough to find in high grade. As the saying goes, a rising tide raises all ships so I think that is the case here with Pafko?
Good luck with your Mays hunt.
