One nice way to compare players of varied careers is to look at 7 year peak WAR:
Gehrig 68.1 Pujols 61.7 Foxx 58.5 The rest are substantially below these three. Top 3 in WAR for 1B are Gehrig, Pujols and Foxx. No one can really contest Gehrig's status as the GOAT, though I do not agree that Foxx is not a first tier HOFer; the #3 guy has to be. I guess the question is more whether Foxx cards are undervalued based on his place in baseball history. Of course, that question assumes that card values correlate directly with on-field performance, which is not always the case. Beloved and iconic status can come from other sources besides just stats (hello, Nolan Ryan, #24 in WAR; Mel Ott and Frank Robinson have better career WAR than Roberto Clemente; guess which right-fielder is on a stamp?).
