His Buy It Now #'s on Ebay are stupid. They are at Matty white cap $#'s for the same grade.
Hi Bob,

Pops have a price component as you are aware. Higher priced subjects get submitted more often. The main reason Evans has a comparably low pop to Ames HAC and Schulte FV (I’ll take your word for it—I haven’t checked) is that those subjects are higher priced. Watch the Evans pop spike from here.

This thesis is confirmable by normalizing pops by condition. Every subject should have close to the same grade profile in the wild. When I normalized pops by condition back in 2016 Evans came out about average in terms of scarcity.
