Most undervalued HOFers

[packs]

I've always thought Bill Terry was undervalued too. People sometimes know his name because he hit 400 but you're more likely to remember Ted. Aside from hitting 401 in 1930, he was a career 341 hitter and drove in 100 runs six seasons in a row.

Despite being the last NL player to hit 400 and being on a very short list of players to do it in the modern era, it still took him 15 tries to get into the HOF.

I feel we have hit some of the better ones already but here are my top few that tend to not trade at levels they should...

Eddie Collins
Frank Robinson
Joe Morgan
Kid Nichols (he doesn't have a ton of cards but he is better than he gets credit for)
Charlie Gehringer

Fascinating discussion, as usual.

Still my all-time favorite card. Love the old style hat and The Man's smile says it all as he loved life, people and just playing baseball.

That's a good one -- and what a beautiful card this is.

I'm actually going to go with Ted Williams. For someone who can arguably lay claim to being among the top three ballplayers of all-time, his cards are still very moderately priced.
