Eddie Collins is my all time “most underrated” player when it comes to the value of his collectibles/cards. He sells for far les than players that were not nearly as good. In fact he sells for common HOF prices most of the time (there is no reason Eddie Collins should sell for the same as George Kelly)
I think he has a few things that work against him... he was not very good looking nor athletic looking (I have a hard time thinking kids were wanting to be just like Eddie), he was pretty straight laced and not a larger than life persona. The guy was on the 1919 “Black Sox” team but is hardly even mentioned in that story by most as the players knew he wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with it. In short he is probably too boring.
