i think it just came out of people asking/getting high prices for pristine examples and that trickling down. No other reason seems reasonable and you are right, they are not rare by any means.
Was very irritating to me when I was trying to find a nice affordable off grade copy for my collection.

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.
