Bauble is from cold snap and is a 4-of in a modern deck that is blowing up in popularity. That means people can't easily trade into them and need to go buy them off the internet which leads to a group buy-out and price spike which is exactly what happened. It's also modern PPTQ season from July 23rd to October 9th which means plenty of spikes are trying to buy into the deck right now.

Top being a much more powerful and iconic card doesn't actually have much to do with this.
I don't follow modern because all the prices are subject to huge fluctuations and not representative of actual value. Since everything in modern can be reprinted the values are just temporary. The bauble wasn't just discovered and I'm pretty sure it was used in other modern decks but never spiked like this.

There shouldn't be an uncommon card that's worth $40. Logically it's stupid and just price manipulation.
