Paper pauper

IF paper pauper took off massively (that's a big if), could we see the price of a lot of high quality commons going to $2 and up? Or do you feel that the supply of commons is so high it wouldn't happen?
Do you think that it would ruin pauper as a format if it became massively inflated in price?
I personally think it could happen but that pauper won't get popular enough. I remember Skyknight Legionnaire being a few dollars at one point.
There are plenty of pauper staples that sell for a lot already. Pauper staples can be kinda expensive on MTGO as well. It's definitely possible for the staple commons to see a big increase in price if there was more pauper support on paper

What kind of pauper staples do you mean that are expensive?

Cloud of Faeries is expensive, as well as the Rats that mono black uses (can't remember the name exactly). Plus all the cantrips (Ponder , Preordain , Brainstorm , etc.)

None of the new commons will get expensive but obviously some OP old ones can cost 1-5 bucks.

The supply is too high most likely, and rares are just too fun sometimes
