Why Shag?
I'm putting together a mini-subset of T206s: the Virginia League SLers. Two players each from six teams. All but one (Al Orth) are portraits and none are big names and most can be had fairly cheaply - except Shag Shaughnessy who always seems to be priced at a premium over the other 11.
Any conspiracy theories or ideas why Shag brings a premium over the other Va League SLers? Is there some unspoken 'Titus' effect or am I missing something? or am I just imaging this?

Distant ancestor of Kramer?

Same image was later used for the U.S. $20 bill.

No conspiracy. See the Wikipedia article Val linked to. He spent decades as a minor league baseball manager and executive, and a college baseball, football, and hockey coach. He’s in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, and the International League Hall of Fame.
