Frank, but whether or not the pop reports are accurate, it doesn't explain why prices would be higher. It doesn't explain why there was the massive E-card bubble five years ago. Right now, there is just a massive herd-like mentality going after the backs. It is being lead by 2 or 3 collectors who are throwing a massive amount of money into the set and driving up prices. Other people then hop on to try and buy hot cards.
As FrankB22 says, the rare backs are 50x more rare, so why would they sell for only 4.5x the price - before, it was because the demand for the rare backs wasn't that high - no one felt like they needed the cards, even if they were interesting. Nowadays, with master set collectors throwing massive amounts of money into the cards, it is because they need them to complete their sets. Point being that the pop reports don't have to be exact - all that is needed for the prices to increase are deep-pocketed collectors who badly need the cards for their master set.
