It seems to me that the Texas guys are seen slightly less often.

Sometimes there is a guide that has a slight premium for Perdue, Shaughnessy, or Stark. Hub Perdue was a character, and was on the 1914 Braves team at season's start. Shaughnessy was a manager and GM in the minors, a playoff system bears his name, he was a coach for the 1928 Tigers that had Gehringer and Heilmann. Dolly Stark in T206 is NOT the Dolly Stark umpire from the 30s. Monroe Randolph Stark played 4 seasons in the majors. Albert Stark, the umpire, was an infielder for Jersey City and Newark, which was as far as he advanced as a player. I'm not sure if a premium is justified for any of these 3, but it is sometimes seen. Maybe Stark deserves a slight bump for the Texas connection.

I'd like to see what fellow board mavens think about the Texas cards being slightly less plentiful.

Frank.
