That's a heck of an interesting question that should get a ton of varied responses. I guess the term undervalued is relative to percentage increase or dollar value.

Heck, I'll throw out the Zeenut Claxton. I haven't seen one for a while but at a few grand it could very well be undervalued by a grand or so (probably even more).

It also depends upon how many people are willing to lock horns on a card. Once that happens all bets are off on the degree of card valuations.

Any 1920's Babe Ruth cards IMO. No respect for the Bambino.

I can't imagine there is a better deal out there than the 1913 Nap Lajoie game card. I picked mine up about a year ago for about $20 ... as for Batter-Ups, I agree they are vastly underpriced. I just picked up nice cards of Jimmie Foxx and Lefty Grove (a red and a green, no less!) for less than half of what it would have cost me for comparable Goudeys or Diamond Stars. But in general, I consider Bill Terry cards to be a bit overpriced ... other pre-war bargains include Wheaties and Exhibits. I 've picked up nice 1930s Wheaties HOFers for as little as $20 and just this last weekend, I found a group of mid-grade 1920s Exhibit HOFers for about the same price.

I don't know about most underpriced, but, in general, there are a lot of more modern oddball rookie cards, and pre-rookie cards, that are relatively inexpensive. This includes team issues, Kelloggs, Hostess, tough regional, etc. A collector on a budget could gather a nice collection of odd ball rookies of players from Robin Yount to Pedro Martinez, plus add the rookies of non-HOFers like Harvey Kuenn and Steve Sax. Most to all of these items are many times rarer than the equivilent Topps rookie and sometimes dirt cheap.

And, to me, there's great appeal to a collecting area where, even though the cards are scarce and sharp, you don't need a loan from the bank or a brink's truck, Bill Mastro's or PSA second opinion or permission from your wife to purhase a baseball card. How much does a raw Kelloggs Dennish Eckerlsey or Eddie Murray rookie cards cost? To me, that's about 20x closer to collecting than purchsasing a PSA9 Goudey Ruth.

The first baseball card I ever owned was a Reggie Jackson I cut from the back of a box of Twinkies. I used to love the 7-11 discs, too. How many slurpees did I have to drink before I finally scored a Todd Van Poppel? One..two...three...

The oddball stuff is still cheap, such as Wheaties box backs, matchbooks, strips,and Exbibits.

Many of the 20's and 30's Hall of Famers are on those items, and are easily obtained for under $20 or $30.

There was a lot of 33 or 34 Goudey's with Terry in it a couple weeks ago that went cheap, possibly because they misspelled Goudey "Gouedy".

1936 R314 Bob Feller. His ONLY rookie. $225 in NM in the standard catalog.

Also, the 1913 and 1915 Zeenut Heilmanns. Yes, I'm biased but geez.

of great black baseplayers who belonged in the Hall of Fame....

Since I'm a baseball history based collector I would add cards of Ray Chapman and Sanaharu Oh from their playing days and a few excruciatingly difficult Hall of Famers who only made it into relatively obscure sets..

Any anonymous baseball CDV, albumen or tintype photo prior to 1870. They are rich in history, mysterious and are most likely all one of a kinds!

I know some will query their validity as cards but I think this is a mute point - they are just darn desirable and reasonably priced ancestors of the modern card.
