I'm going out on a limb here and saying it's because of the tie to the Black Sox. Look at Gandil. I'm sure you'll see a premium for his T206, also.
If Cicotte didn't get mixed up with the Black Sox, he could have had more demand due to his HOF career which got sidetracked. A couple more good seasons and he'd have been a lock for the HOF.
