Which Shawkey do you have? There are at least 4, none of which is real common but also none so scarce as to command huge dollars either. I have confirmed a 1916 d350-1-1 raw that actually shows Stuffy McInnis (card #163), and SGC has graded a d350-1-2 (card #161). The Shawkey in Standard Biscuit sets from 1917 (D350-2, card #157)and 1921 (D350-3,unnumbered) would be scarcer, but demand is not overly great for whatever reason, probably because the B&W sets don't get proper love, IMO. A nice example--figure vg-ex or so--would fetch between $80-$120 dollars for the 1916, maybe a bit more for the 1917 and around $150-$225 for the 1921. Of course Shawkey or Yankee collectors might pay more.
