If you want this card you might have to wait years to land one. When things are hard to get people want them more. It is just human nature.
These type cards appeal to just that and why I am never shocked when the prices go for big numbers.

I agree completely with the bold excerpt. Everyone collects differently. I am a tiny, tiny fish in the hobby, but I love cards that are rare and might pop up once a year or once every few years, as opposed 1951B Mantle cards or T206 Cobb cards or 1933 Goudey Ruth cards that can be found any time. That doesn't make it right or wrong, just a different collecting interest.
