I was Curious to see Who Everyone thought were the Most Collected / Most Popular Pre-War Players?
For Me I Figured
1. Babe Ruth
2. Ty Cobb
3. Shoeless Joe Jackson ????
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
But after those 3 (Shoeless Joe is a Guess) I am unsure.
What do you guys think?

That Thread is Different.
1. I am Wondering the Players that are MOST POPULAR and COLLECTED Overall. That Thread asks who YOU collect which is not Necessarily who is Most Popular.
2. I am asking for Top 10 Lists. Most posts in the other thread list just one or two players (Also who that person collects Not who is Most Collected).

I think if you asked for the Top 9, the response would be more favorable.;)

I think Lajoie more than Hornsby or Anson. And certainly DiMaggio if this is pre WWII.

I'd move Wagner and Jackson up to 4 and 5.

When scanning eBay, pretty much first off I look for Walter Johnson & Mathewson. Although gotta include the 1941 Ted Williams - jeez, really tough to find nicely centered EX 5 or better - as some here will attest.
Lists are subjective but this would be close to mine too. A few positions could change but overall, it is what collectors seem to be buying.
1. Babe Ruth
2. Ty Cobb
3. Lou Gehrig
4. Walter Johnson
5. Cy Young
6. Christy Mathewson
7. Honus Wagner
8. Joe Jackson
9. Rogers Hornsby
10. Cap Anson
