I know a few people who have been trying to put the e102 set together and have ended up having to wait around for a couple (or all four) of these variations to appear. I'm sure that the hype and premiums are appropriate and they really do have some low, low pop reports. I hope you're right in that they're coming down. Makes it easier for me to compete as well. 
I think that in the end, it just depends on who's needing the card at the time the auction is happening. I guess a couple different people were really needing some of those other cards though. Sort of brings me back to my original post actually....why were those commons that are seemingly available on a weekly basis so sought after but the demand for the variations to finish off the set so low?
Perhaps the people competing are happy with a 25-card player set? Perhaps like Quan said earlier, those bidding might have simply been unaware of the scarcity of those particular variations?
