but yeah, IDK what the Collins issue is, the card looks fine to me, his career is elite and he was better than nearly everyone at 2b not named Rogers Hornsby.
I guess it was market, too much moving around and he didn't have the charisma of the others???

I don't get the "too much moving around" theory. He was one of the two most important hitters on a legendary dynasty in Philly for almost a decade, and for another decade he was one of the top hitters on the freakin' Blacksox / Whitesox. Then he went back to Philly to help launch another dynasty. 2 teams in 20 plus years. Very similar to Speaker and Lajoie, yet by no means the same respect. Eddie is still #13 in career WAR according to BR. Maybe it was the ears.
