The reason they do this is so they can purchase these coins at a low price if they do in fact find them to sell later when the price goes through the roof once they publish how rare they are.
What hole have you been hiding in?
You are painting a really broad brush here, and as an author of variety section and several papers on varieties, I find this comment petty and insulting.
The prices are not a function of rarity, they are based on available information of past auctions and sales. Sometimes, these publishers will accommodate collectors to list varieties, but have no pricing available to them. The 1929 High 9 was a perfect example... it made it into the Charlton catalogue quickly, but prices were not adjusted until the market was established.
