The Foxx RCs are good deals even now. Foxx finished his 20-year career with 534 home runs, 1,922 runs batted in, 1,751 runs scored, 2,646 hits, 458 doubles, 125 triples, 1,452 bases on balls and a .325 batting average. His 12 consecutive seasons with 30 or more home runs was a major league record until it was broken by Barry (cheater) Bonds in 2004. At the end of his career, his 534 home runs placed him second only to Ruth on the all-time list, and first among right-handed hitters. He retained these positions until Willie Mays passed Foxx for second place in 1966.
In the post-war era I think many of the regionals other than Mantle are underpriced right now. The 1954 Johnson's Aaron has already been mentioned.
Pre-rookies other than DiMaggio are often relatively cheap. Look at the many Zeenuts HOFers.
