There are a few players who fit the bill for me:
Cecil Travis, Bob Feller, Walter French, Charley Berry, Jim Bottomley, Jim Kaat, George Sisler, Sandy Consuegra, Wally Pipp, Vern Stephens, Doc Cramer, Gil Hodges, Dom DiMaggio, Ken Williams, Joe Gordon, Tony Gwynn, Earl Averill, Ted Lyons, Indian Bob Johnson, Wilbur Cooper, Walker Cooper, Bill Freehan, Bob Veach, Dan Quisenberry, Don Mattingly, Frank Robinson, Jake Daubert and Charlie Grimm.
Some of these players are already in the Hall of Fame and many are not, but really what it comes down to is the education of the collector.
I agree that Stan Musial and Frank Robinson's cards are in most cases far cheaper than they should be, but I refer to what I just said about education.
