Because it was a minor league promotional item. They were handed out at the gate during random games. Each game had a different player. As time marches on, fewer and fewer will be available because collectors learned long ago that these were toughies and they are either sitting in some dude's pile of stuff from his childhood or PCs.
I bet a lot of them didn't make it out of the stadium in the first place, which is what made them toughies.... and 500 copies actually is rare! Kids don't think so nowadays with all the shiney 1/1's and so many cards #/5 etc, but... when I was a kid I had a Shaq rookie that I thought was soooo awesome, because it was a "Limited Print" card...
Nice, 1 of only 63,400! Sweeet!
And then there were these super rare cards that came out in 1991 called Donruss Elite. They were serial #'d out of only 10,000 cards each, I think some were so scarce that they only made 7,500 of them.... and they were super hard to find!
