The 52 Topps Shuba card has perplexed me. His values are far higher than most of the "common" high numbers cards from the set. I've watched examples on ebay go for amounts even higher than SMR. Why is this? The population reports suggest his card is about as plentiful as most others. He doesn't have an especially long career. It's his rookie card, but other rookies like the Brodowski don't fetch nearly what his does in higher grades.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but any idea why the Shuba card is so prized?
