Demand for Pelty could be greater than otherwise expected due to collectors who chase cards of Jewish ballplayers.

I think it has to be more than the Jewish aspect, because his vertical card is plentiful on ebay right now and ending prices recently are in line with your average common player. The horizontal card is the one getting the bump. You may have a case where there is a hoarder out there and it's the next Titus card.
I bought one of his cards with a split back and a color missing in his collar and thought I overpaid for it just to get it, but now it looks like I didn't. I also like how it looks like he has eye white on(it's supposed to be black Mr. Pelty) due to the registration

Jewish ballplayer in T206
+ Horizontal image. + Limited series [150 only?] = higher price than a typical card.

That was my listing. Definitely no funny business with the auction. I recently upgraded mine and listed this one. The prices on this card have drastically spiked recently, much like the Titus card. There was always a bit of a premium on this card, for all the reasons people have mentioned, but I don't have a good answer for why the prices have increased as significantly as they have. Mine actually went for a little less than some others in similar condition recently.

I won the auction. Did I pay more than I wanted to? Of course. This is one of the few commons I need and I have been chasing it for a while. Add that to the fact that I lost two other cards last night in the last second and yes, I pulled the trigger on this one. Also, I have done business with Marc several times in the past and know that he is a top-notch seller. BTW there are no other Pelty horizontals available on ebay at the moment.
