Bobby Richardson is probably a favorite of many because he played on some great Yankee teams, and he did win five Gold Glove awards. And I think he is the only player to win a World Series MVP while playing on a losing team (1960).
But he is not in the Hall of Fame and his offensive numbers are not good: .266/.299/.335 for old school slash numbers and .634 OPS, 77 OPS+ new school.
The other choices seems like good ways to get a HOFer from a set without paying too much (although I feel like Banks is more expensive). There are several players from different eras where you can get a HOF type card without it being too costly: Wallace, Sewell, Bancroft, Averill, Haines, Ferrell, Slaughter, etc., etc.
I don't know if that means they are undervalued...but if you want a HOFer, they will cost less than many others.
