That is possible that 118 belonging to one person could send the prices up. While it is a common card, that is still likely a decent % of the population, somewhere between 5-10%. I was originally thinking that people who do a back run of a player drive the prices up a little, as long as multiple people are doing it, but that is likely wrong because the common backs would still be plentiful and you wouldn't notice a price jump on them.
I know some people hate hoarding, but that is still pretty cool looking laid out like that. I only have two Pelty cards, one in my set and one has a split back and is missing red on front, but I was checking Ebay often once the prices started to jump, looking for someone to post with a low BIN.
