Mike, I too go out of my way to collect deserving players who were snubbed in the Hall of Fame voting. It's amazing to me how many worthy players are not in the Hall of Fame. I'm surprised how many collectors consider membership in the Hall of Fame to be a true measure of player's career, which certainly isn't the case. Is there any logical reason why Travis' cards should sell for less those of Rabbit Maranville, Dave Bancroft and Travis Jackson? It's only because they're in Cooperstown and Travis isn't ... even though he was arguably a better player ...
