The pricing scale never made sense mathematically. This is just a
correction based on percentages. If a card is 50 times more difficult
to find with a certain back vs the most common back then pricing it
only 4 or 5 times that of the common back made no sense from a
statistical standpoint. Prices were based on previous sales, not math.
Now they are being based on a more statistically correct formula.

I don't care what the two went for, comparatively in 1998. They didn't
have the information we have now. The market is just becoming more
efficient and there is no reason to think that it will reverse somehow
to it's previous inefficient state.
