I think tablets like these are actually extremely common.
I know a guy I spoke to at the British Museum about cuneiform tablets said they literally just have hundreds and hundreds of them in storage and they are most very mundane record keeping.

“How should we display these priceless ancient clay tablets?”
“Just throw them in that bowl over there.”

You’re right. You can buy them on eBay for like $1000. Apparently ISIS does illegal excavations and sell the artifacts, and these are a common item.
