Most undervalued HOFers

Joe Morgan is really cheap too, for another guy who one could reasonably argue is the best 2B.

Al Kaline is pretty cheap for how good he was. His rookie is a lot less than Ernie Banks in the same set but he was hardly inferior.

The over election of guys in the 30's has caused a lot of the ones who are deserving HOFers but were not in the A-tier of the Hall to be priced around the same level as the guys who really don't belong. Al Simmons types, I think they are undervalued relative to performance.



As time goes on, most guys who don't make the Hall and aren't Yankees or have some other claim to fame drift into the common bin. Guys like Billy Pierce or Ken Boyer who are just on the wrong side of the Hall line who generally sell for about as much as a backup utility infielder are all 'bargains' when you compare performance, though not good investments.

Yeah my favorite player growing up was Dave Concepcion, who definitely fits in that category, but definitely cheap to collect an entire career in cardboard.
