Because you have saved those 36 articles over a period of time, and the
lowest number is, say 50 and the highest is 1753.  Since Gnus is a
newsreader, it assumes that the article count is continuous between the
lowest and highest article numbers.  Obviously, when you enter with C-u SPC
it will only get your saved articles and those which have yet to be
expired.
