Default Sam Crawford...??
Is he a popular player to collect I have been reading about him and he seems to have been a great baseball player? Is he in the likes of Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson?

A total monster at the plate! Played outfield next to Cobb and Jones. I think he holds the record for career triples. Has a terrific interview in/on The Glory Of Their Times. Don't compare him with collecting pitchers, but he'll tell you about them.

Yes, they are cheaper, and worth it IMO.

Not that the Hall of Fame is the be all end all, but Cobb and Johnson were elected in the first possible year 1936. Crawford, not until 1957. He's not in that top tier that Cobb, Johnson, Mathewson are in.

Wahoo Sam was a great player, his 312 triples is unbreakable record for sure.
Hit'em in the crowd and keep running

He's popular to collect but not top tier like Matty and Johnson..

His record for triples & overall stats shows his tenacity. Also, he has some great images on some old cardboard. I think his image on the the Sepia & Novelty Cutlery sets are awesome. Somewhat under rated for sure.

Holy crap, the T3 & T216 just may be better than my Sepia PC. On the fence about that.

I'm partial to the 1914 Cracker Jack Crawford.

Default Crawford
Sam Crawford was one of the top hitters in the deadball era. He was a power hitter that had lots of extra base hits. He didn't steal many bases compared to others of his day and was a hard-working quiet guy. He was a great RBI man, before RBI became a popular statistic. The media tended to focus on batting average, runs scored and stolen bases in that era, so Crawford wasn't leading the league in those categories. He may have been a little slow in the outfield. In 1911, for example, he had 181 putouts while Ty Cobb had 376.

He is undervalued as a HOF player and a good one to collect.
