You defiantly can't get a steal on his stuff but when you consider him as a person as well as his place in baseball history I think his stuff should soar. Like Aaron I also think him not playing in New York hurts his prices.

Agree on Musial at least in terms of what his cards are worth and how great of a player he was. You used to hear his name at least floated in the "greatest hitter" arguments a lot back in the 1980's, but that kind of faded as Ted Williams got older and then died. Kids today in many cases have never heard of Musial, which is a shame. My favorite card of his is the '58 Topps All-Star, which if I'm not mistaken was triple printed. You can get a very nice copy for well less than 50 bucks.
