Pretty much any player that has already passed away and who didn't have a reputation of being a shitty human.
Players who are still living still have a chance to f* up their reputation (this is why some dislike Lebron James and is a significant factor in his prices having fallen as much as they have). Also, I think there's a much higher risk in holding players like Cobb and Anson than there is in guys like Gil Hodges or Lou Boudreau. Cancel culture has already come after statues of guys like Thomas Jefferson. I don't think it's a stretch to think that mindset could eventually reach its way into the hobby as well.
