Supply and demand. Pretty simple. I think the Mantle probably qualifies as one of the hardest cards to "overprice".
But, as with any item that is in demand, not only will there always be people asking for a price that may be defined as "too high", there will often be people willing to pay that price.
I'm pretty sure that more Mantles exist than the other 1952 high numbers, but that doesn't change the fact that the Mantle is "worth" more than the other "more rare" cards.
Too bad that I "need" both variations for my set.
