Grove Cleveland Alexander always seems undervalued, given where he ranks all-time. Alexander's Cracker Jack cards go for a decent amount, but most Alexander cards seem cheap, relative to his place in baseball history.
I wonder how much of Alexander's card prices are impacted by his reputation as an incorrigible drunk as opposed to the saintly reputation of Christy Mathewson or the general larger than life reputations of Walter Johnson and Cy Young.

Another candidate for overpriced HOFer could be Connie Mack. On any other team, under any other cicumsataces, he would have been fired by 1918 or so and would never have gotten that many wins as a manager. I get the longevity and respect for "Mr. Mack", but am not sure how that translates into the high prices his E cards command.
I think the case for Alexander being undervalued is compelling, and should rank with Young, Matty and WaJo.
