Foxx . 325/.428/.609 OPS+ 160 For those that like WAR Gehrig 114.1 in 17 seasons with only 14 full seasons Those 14 full seasons Gehrig had 113.8 WAR or 8.12 WAR per season. Foxx 93.9 in 20 seasons. Foxx's best 14 seasons averaged 6.7 WAR. Gehrig was also a monster in the postseason with 6 WS wins in 7 tries hitting . 361/.483/.731. It really isn't close. Collectors want to collect the best. For prewar it is Wagner, Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig. Tier 2 players are going to trail behind badly. |

One nice way to compare players of varied careers is to look at 7 year peak WAR:
Gehrig 68.1 Pujols 61.7 Foxx 58.5 The rest are substantially below these three. Top 3 in WAR for 1B are Gehrig, Pujols and Foxx. No one can really contest Gehrig's status as the GOAT, though I do not agree that Foxx is not a first tier HOFer; the #3 guy has to be. I guess the question is more whether Foxx cards are undervalued based on his place in baseball history. Of course, that question assumes that card values correlate directly with on-field performance, which is not always the case. Beloved and iconic status can come from other sources besides just stats (hello, Nolan Ryan, #24 in WAR; Mel Ott and Frank Robinson have better career WAR than Roberto Clemente; guess which right-fielder is on a stamp?).

As far as card values, people are drawn to the top few names. Players down the list are going to increase in value much slower. I don't think Foxx cards are undervalued at all. In 1933 Goudey after Ruth and Gehrig (and Lajoie) comes Foxx, Hornsby and Dean. He isn't like Eddie Collins who sells for less than many lesser players in t206. |
