once, there were only the authentic old patches offered on ebay and through other internet sources. they sold in the $100 to $200 range.

then, someone offered two or three of these NOS patches, "found in the desk of an old mechanic", and the first few sold for between $100 and $200, as you might expect. Then we saw more NOS patches being offered, and the price goes below $100. Then we see more patches, and they are selling for between $30 and $50. And now, everyone has them and they sell for around $15 . . . still a nice profit above the cost of production, but not like when the first few hit the market.
