Jewish Players premium?

There is frequently a premium on Jewish players due to increased demand. Like Leon stated there are several people who collect players with Jewish heritage there by increasing demand for their cards thus causing a premium.

you used it as an adjective, even your definition states it's a noun. meshuga is the adjective. let's take this over to the yiddish grammar thread

I can attest to there being a premium on Jewish players cards within the T210 set. The J. Erskine Mayer Series 7 that sold on eBay a few months ago is proof of that. Others such as Levy in Series 2 always brings a premium.

My dear grandparents (RIP) would be smiling. They spoke Yiddish when they got riled up and we never knew what they were saying....but if it was Yiddish it wasn't looking good.. for us.

Oy, such a smart boy (if only he was a doctor).

Benny Kauff may have a bit of a premium because he was one of the best ever minor league players.

One might say Jewish players have a proverbial 'regional premium,' as certain players and teams have premiums in certain localities.

As a side note, I just found out that my friend's great uncle was the Jewish middleweight champion Al McKoy (Changed his last name from Alexander).

hmmm If you had said one of the best Federal league players I'd have to agree, but that was technically considered a Major League. His minor league stats were nothing overwhelming in about 1600 PA's.
