1984 Silverado fender emblem question: NOS vs Reproduction

I was watching a set of fender emblems on ebay which were NOS. They went for $85 dollars for the set.

Why were they twice the price of a new reproduction? Are the reproductions plastic?

People who are restoring trucks or cars for that matter want NOS (new old stock) parts. you can't buy NOS parts from the stealership anymore making them "rare" so people will charge out the butt for the parts and people will pay it if they want it bad enough.....

as for repops being plastic idk sorry.
