You're largely right, we're being slightly lazy
. It's a combination of rarity and ratings. Cards that are diamond/perfect (in addition to having generally higher ratings, though not always, than Gold and lower), particularly the historical/non-Live ones, will be so rare that people will pay a lot for them even if they have a nearly comparable player just for the exclusivity, so the market prices will still remain pretty high. The less desirable diamond/perfect cards will of course sell for relatively less than the ones with the absolute best rankings of course, and there might even be overlap between the high and low ends of adjacent rarity tiers. Supply and Demand.
