This is up to $80 within 1 hour of it being listed in an auction on a Facebook group. #d /349 of the king, nice card and not super easy to find, but I just dont get the prices some stuff is going for.

The FB group I'm in seems to be a lot of people who have no idea about the hobby. There's a lot of scams going on as well... People listing cards for sale with "recent comps" in the photos but they'll have gone to 130point and chosen the highest selling listing out of 5 and only shown that one in their "comp"... Also most of the time it's a buy it now or accepted offer listing, which we don't even know is a legitimate sale or if the buyer has followed through with payment... Auctions seem much more indicative of true market value.
Am I wrong in my assessment after being back in the hobby for about a month that it seems to be whatever is visually appealing goes for a high sale price? It's so fascinating after collecting 10+ years ago when autos and patches were all the craze to see holos, refractors and prizms seeming to be driving the sales traffic at the moment rather than autos...
I collected as a kid in the 90s and again in the mid 2000s. I'm only just returning to collecting after about 12 years out and I'm finding the prices crazy! Prices and even product availability are making it pretty difficult to get back into the hobby at the moment.
Pack and box prices are going nuts. Pretty much pricing younger kids out of the hobby. Even the supposed cheaper boxes are ridiculous. Also kids trying to pull cards of their favourite stars only to see companies reintroducing old players form the 50's isnt great either.
