I don't know how you ended up lumping these two guys together but it makes for interesting conversation.
Being a Red Sox fan I have generally tried to avoid collecting Yankee cards, but Berra is unavoidable. His 1950 Bowman card is terrific and I have one of those in addition to his '73 Manager card, and I think that's about it.
You could say both Yogi and Roy Campanella are underrated I suppose, but they were huge figures in baseball's golden era and both quite loved.
Jim Thome was a slow pitch softball masher type from the 90s who ended up putting together a great career, although in the juice era so that hangs over him, fair or not. I have no idea what his card prices are like, but as a vintage guy I would equate him to Harmon Killebrew and that guy's cards are relatively modest priced.
