Would you rather have something called the first baseball card or a cricket ticket. Just doesn't have the same effect. Definitely a big difference in owning one over another. It's like asking why are rookie cards worth more than other cards, especially for newer cards if they made the same amount.

Here is a personal example. I like Carlton Fisk, his rookie card has a tiny picture with two other players in the 72 Topps set. Why is that better than his solo 1973 card with a trophy on it or his 74 Topps, which has a great action shot and is my favorite looking card of him. There is a big % difference in price, but they are all easy to find cards. People like firsts and being the first baseball card ever is a huge first.
