Under valued (or underappreciated autographs)

[travrosty]

I think those two examples are good examples of autographs whose price doesn't seem to match the achievement of the players.

but i dont think that necessarily makes them a better investment than other autographs of hof'ers whose price is commensurate with their achivement simply by the observation that these players are dead, their numbers won't change, and their popularity probably won't either.

If their autographs haven't climbed up to what their numbers would suggest they should be at by now, several decades after their death, they probably won't in the future either.

Ichiro is way over valued and the quality of the signature is really poor. There are a lot of vintage era HOFers that died in the late 1980's and earl 1990's that are still pretty cheap (Luke Appling, Billy Herman, Rick Ferrell, Carl Hubbel, Travis Jackson, Joe Sewell, etc)

I think some common characteristics for these guys are living a loong time and being willing signers.

This list could also include Waite Hoyt, Lefty Gomez, Burleigh Grimes, Edd Roush, Stan Coveleski, Jesse Haines, Cool Papa Bell, Lloyd Waner, Lou Boudreau, and a few others I can't think of right now.
Bill Dickey could be on the list, but his Yankee connections bumps up the prices a little.
