Why are low grade 52 Pafkos so expensive

There is at least one prior thread in here somewhere raising this issue. It is similar to the Mantle issue, there seems to be no shortage so why the high prices. The Mathews being the last card is at least a high number and not a DP like the Mantle.

More people collect this set just up to the high numbers, and those who collect the whole set often try to do the first series in both red and black back. Other than that, it seems to be hobby notion that the Pafko is card with a perceived premium value, particularly the black back version

Its all about that Bruce Willis movie (He had to sell it for his daughter's wedding)

I dunno either but it gives me a chance to show mine. I've always liked the background of this shot:

I will follow suit and show my black back (which is for trade )
