Relative to each other, Jackson is way over-valued, and/or Heilmann is way undervalued.

You wonder if he'd just been just Joe Jackson, and not Shoeless Joe Jackson, if he would have been quite so wildly popular in the hobby. I don't want to say he's overrated, but on the other hand,for whatever reason Heilmann never seems to have captured anyone's imagination.
