Topic: GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD VERSUS CUSTOM 58-60

The Gibson Custom Les Paul, has been THE guitar, a better one than his cheaper brother LP Standard.
If you see the price asked for a GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD between 1958-1960, they are almost 3x more expensive than the GIBSON CUSTOM LES PAUL and if I am not wrong, the humbuckers were the same as on a Standard.
LOGICAL QUESTION: Where these Customs more expensive in those years, and if yes, how is it possible that the price is 2-3x less
