Vintage collector's want presentable, good looking cards of their favorite players. They also have limited budgets. The result is an increasing demand for cobbs for $600, wagners for less than 4 figures(the same for shoeless), matty & johnson for $300, etc. As long as there are good looking vintage cobbs going for $600 bucks or so, there is no reason for most collectors to spend $3K on a high grade t206 cobb(which for many is not an option).

I'd say there are hundreds, if not thousands, of collectors who would drop $500 on a vg attractive example of shoeless. Bottomline, there just aren't that many vg wg4's out there to satisfy the demand. Wagner is also in that realm, Cobb is getting there, matty/johnson/young are on their way.
