Alexander is ridiculously underrated. 3rd in wins, 2nd in shutouts, 5th in WAR for pitchers. Tied with Matty in the 1st stat and ahead of him in the later two. He is only one of three pitchers to win the triple crown 3 times, along with Walter Johnson and Sandy Koufax. The 1914 CJ is his first mainstream baseball card.

I agree about Alexander he was exceptional for a long time and grossly underrated. Also I move alexander up the list to the top tier based on the fact that most people consider the 14 CJ as his true rookie card, and that adds a cool factor for me.
