Pricing
I think the price is just meant to draw attention to the card. PSA has now recognized it as a variant . It also apparently is listed as such in Beckett. If it makes it's way into the Registry master set list, graded or ungraded master set collectors are going to want/need one.
I picked up mine on ebay after an article on it appeared in SCD a long time back. I got it for $25 or so. It is more dramatic than my black star and I think scarcer. I collect lots of unlisted variant cards hoping one day they get hobby recognition
It will be interesting to see what they actually go for as they get more hobby recognition
What will be even more interesting to see is if PSA ever recognizes the Topps 1952 variations for the Mantle, Robinson and Thompson DP cards listed now in the last edition of the SCD Standard Catalog
