He had a great career in the Negro Leagues and was older in the Major Leagues (he was a 30 year old rookie), yet still had a very good Major League career. He was elected via the Negro League ballot.

I just don't see any price increase on Irvin cards as the years go by.....I see him going to common range and just some people that collect HOF like they do with nameless goudeys or some T206 that don't recognize the name and only recognize the 'HOF' next to the listing
now if theres a movie in Monte Irvin's name that comes out or MLB decides to retire his number or something..thats a different story
