Players whose cards should be a bigger deal than they seem to be

[perezfan]

I've always felt that Stan Musial Cards are undervalued. One of the all-time greats, yet most of his cards are very affordable. May have been different, had he played in New York.

Also agree with Spahnie.

I agree with you on both Musial and Spahn. Most people have never even heard of Warren Spahn. At least most people have at least heard of "Stan The Man" Musial.

Agree on Musial, but it's hard to "collect" Musial when he has very few mainstream cards (Topps) during his playing years...and there was that little war that got in the way too.

Good point...

But his '53 Bowman Color is a very "sexy" looking card. One of my personal faves, FWIW.

Forgot about Jimmie Foxx... that was a good addition as well.

Frank Robinson , never gets or got his do's ! He might be the most under rated player of all time ? If not , for sure in his time ! I know you guys will say others , but I'd say he did not make the top 10 , in most peoples cases ? Hard for me to take , for his stats are right there with most players , won awards & a couple world series also , also was a trend setter , 1st black manger & even hit a HR in his 1st game as one ? Also worked in the MLB office for a few years ? Tough player & not many players can say that , also ?

I was thinking Robinson as well. He’s more “inner circle” hall of fame than many realize...yet his cards remain pretty reasonable.
