Default T206 HOFers - Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder

There have been several polls as to which T206s have the most desirable image, with Johnson, Cobb, Mathewson, and Lajoie usually winning or in top 10. The question is whether these are the most desirable because:
1. We associate beauty with value, hence HOFer cards are more appealing as they are more valuable;
2. The artist(s) devoted more time/attention to the popular players of the era(subsequent HOFers), thereby drawing more attractive images for such players, or
3. Great ball players were simply more photogenic and made better looking images/cards?
