His cards aren't undervalued for the next few days at least. Never understood why people have to have cards of players the day they pass away and they're willing to pay high prices for them, but it happens for any player that was even semi-famous.
I almost got his autograph at the Philly show a few years back, but the line was too long and they were telling people well in front of me that he probably wouldn't get to them. Would have been nice to meet him.
