I wonder if this might have something to do with

I think it is pure economics of a maturing collectable field. There is
really nothing strange about some very rare chips fetching huge prices -
the collectable (and I an not including the audio market) tube scene
works just the same way. Some tubes, with only a tiny difference in
contruction from the norm, are worth oodles.
