Best value in HOF T206 Portraits?

[Bpm0014]

Joss because it's pretty undervalued. Matty because it's a great looking card and is somewhat undervalued.

This is actually a hard question imo, because, at least in terms of answers, it essentially is asking which of the first tier HOFers is the most affordable. If so, I would say Matty or Cy. But they certainly are not cheap even now. If you are asking beyond that, I would say Collins, who is criminally underrated, maybe Lajoie despite his price increase, Walsh, who was a great pitcher in the day and whose card is gorgeous. Maybe Chesbro and Keeler., although they wouldn't be my pick to increase. For T206 non-HOFers, clearly Dahlen, who has (IMO) deserved election for years and will have anther shot in 2021. My brother and I, who agree on almost nothing else, agree that he should be elected. I guess we'll see.

Definitely collins... like speaker, its one of his earlier cards... Stats are comparable to lajoie, but card values seem to trail his...

Registration on that card can be tough but every mow Nd agIn you can find one thT is nice on the eyeS

Now that I've thought about it, if you're chasing the Lajoie portrait I'd change gears and go after the Lajoie with bat. That card is a real card's card.

I have a lower grade copy of the Lajoie portrait. I'd like to go after some more portraits first (for whatever reason they are what's holding my interest right now...) before venturing out. But yes the Lajoie w/ bat is a nice card.

Given that I'm also a Collins, I guess I should be interested in Eddie...

And don't forget about your other Collins ancestor with a T206 Hall of Fame portrait...Jimmy.
