Hard to be more underrated (especially when it comes to his card prices) than Eddie Collins. He was one of the best but is just a "common" HOFer when you go sell his stuff.
I've always felt Lefty Grove is a bit underrated (as are most good 1930's pitchers--as it was a hitters era). Given the time he played and the #'s he put up (along with the Baltimore numbers from 1921 on as he was not "for sale" by Balto. to any of the Major League teams that were knocking down the door to get him) he is in my top5-6 greatest pitchers of all time.
As for those not in the Hall that should be I would recommend Browing, Stovey, Mullane, Deacon White and a few other 19th Century guys (especially those that played mostly in the Amer. Assoc. as they got/get NO LOVE from the powers that be.)
