Phil Cooney is a former major leaguer who also happens to be Jewish. In addition to being part of the (relatively common) 1911 Obak set, his card would appeal to NY Yankees collectors (One of the most actively collected major league teams) as well as to several thousand collectors who document and save Jewish athletes. Fortunately, only a few dozen people are currently pursuing minor league cards of Jewish players, keeping the realized price ($129) relatively modest. While it may appear high to some of you, I'd be happy to purchase up to a dozen at $100 per (same grade/eye appeal as this one)
