I think it has to be more than the Jewish aspect, because his vertical card is plentiful on ebay right now and ending prices recently are in line with your average common player. The horizontal card is the one getting the bump. You may have a case where there is a hoarder out there and it's the next Titus card.
I bought one of his cards with a split back and a color missing in his collar and thought I overpaid for it just to get it, but now it looks like I didn't. I also like how it looks like he has eye white on(it's supposed to be black Mr. Pelty) due to the registration

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
