> So why are they priced slightly higher than the first 88 ?
Supply and demand - the cards in the second series were not printed in the same volume as those of the first - considerably rarer, the higher numbered commons usually fetch at least two or three times the price of lower ones in nicer conditions. You'll notice that with only a few exceptions (Ted, Honus, Cy), the major stars are all in the more common lower numbered half of the set.
