Wondering why...T206 Shag Shaughnessy

[terjung]

I always thought it was due to the combination of his name and his hair that made it stand-out and more highly collectible.

i believe it was Huggins of Huggins & Scott, who has been collecting them, he said "just because he likes the pose & the green background". i'm sure that has effected the price.

at the Nat'l 2 years ago, he had TONS of them in their both.

i still think old hippies cherish the card because of the hair style!

I know someone who has 23 Shag's, do you think that would effect the price that much?

A lot of good points on Shag... I really think the Net 54 Board has increased it's value at least 2 fold. It is talked about often, and has become a Net 54 Icon in a way. I remember not too many years ago, when it was hardly ever mentioned... It is a cool card, and has a mystique about it. I swear he looks like Old Hickory with Black hair.

I have now seen more of this card in the last month than all of last year...I guess it peaked.
