I wonder if some just see it as a less expensive way to get a highly sought after classic cover. I buy this series to read, and based on past performance of horror reprint books didn't expect they'd ever be worth what I'd paid. If it goes any higher I'll be tempted to sell.
When issue #4 or so was out, there were multiple sales of this book in the $35-45 range. I think someone even got $68 for a #1 and a #2 together.
So although it's still hottish, it may have already gone through it's biggest gain a year or so ago.

Yea.. It was ( and still is ) selling well.
