Or if its just a couple of Kurapica super fans......

The new series could certainly be helping it's popularity, good thinking. It looks like the prices might be further influenced by those Kurapika super fans too. I just noticed the user tak***** seems to fight hard for every one of these. Maybe the prices wouldn't be so high if not for them.
I think this auction:
http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b150096745 threw me off the most.
It seems to be a very common sequence amongst rubberslug galleries, and one of which sold on Ebay at the start of the year for around $30.
Wonder if some collectors value the genga more? Or then again, it could just be the fans

That's true

Perhaps theres been a dry season of key scenes recently?
I'll be watching to see how that ends tonight!
