bcornellI'd guess it's because people just don't part with the HOFers as readily as commons. The Johnson, Plank and Burkett cards are super desirable and usually only show up in auction houses. There aren't any obvious scarcities in the set, so I don't know what else is up.
Several cards from Lionel Carter's set were at the National. Whoever bought that group sold off some of them.
