Default Survey: Who is the most underrated deadball era pitcher?

Posted By: Greg Ecklund

Of course, I used to own it!

I didn't say he lacked any great cards - the T222 and the Cracker Jack are certainly great (although T222 is by far the best in my opinion). Compared to Johnson and Mathewson, however, Alexander just isn't in as many classic, widely collected sets like T205, T206, T3, etc. Most issues Alexander is on fall into the 1920's Exhibit/Caramel/Strip Card families that don't have as big a following in the hobby, and I believe that contributes to his lack of recognition when compared to Johnson and Matty.
