Is there a more undervalued card in vintage?

Pre-war I'd have to say T206 Eddie Collins.

Post-war - 1955 Topps Hank Aaron. Nice mid grade examples are criminally under valued.

Well...it's a 2nd year card.....everyone is going after the rookie.

Obviously, however that still doesn't mean it's not an under valued card.

After all, the 52 Topps Mantle is a second year card too.

Always liked the 78 Murphy/Parrish/Diaz/Whitt Card even though it's not Murph's rookie. How many rookie cards have 4 future all-stars on them?

Funny, I saw the topic and before I clicked I guessed it was a Frank Robinson Rookie. Even more weird, I just got a 5 in this card nicely centered as well. It has gone up a ton in the past few months. In addition to his stellar playing career he was the first African American Manager in MLB history. For a long time, this card was cheaper pound for pound than the 57 Mays or Aaron, but that's no longer the case. I think it has room for further growth.

I think the future will be kinder to him as people who had interactions with him pass. He was notorious for being horrible to be around if you were a fan.

But his rookie Topps card....

Comparing a '55 Topps Aaron to the '52 Topps Mantle as both just second year cards is comical.

The 1957 Frank Robinson has always seemed undervalued relative to other HOF rookies in high-printed series.

I know the obsession is with rookies, but I always think cards of good/great players in their iconic seasons are usually underpriced, like a 1968 Bob Gibson. That's cooler to me than a 1959 when he was just an afterthought in the high series.

Pre-War, guys who just barely missed the hall tend to be underpriced (Dahlen seems to be treated as a low-end HOFer now, though). Eddie Collins is underpriced, I tend to think John McGraw usually is too.

I’ve always wondered this. Maris is a perfect example.

That's usually what you shoot for when you make a joke.

You need a sense of humour to be funny.
