Little of column A, a little of column B, I'd suppose! It's the same reason why some cards are priced so much more than others. The modern collecting game baffles me sometimes. Like when we see cards of a player like Jasson Dominguez, who hasn't even sniffed the majors yet, go for well over $2,000. It makes no sense, but if someone is willing to pay that price then, you better believe it's going to sell for that!
