He may be a HOF star but his cards don't sell like one...

I agree with Phil. They were all great players, but Frank Robinson put up incredible numbers. I am not old enough to remember him playing, but I read somewhere that he was a bit surly and curt during interviews. I assume that is why his career—and thereby his cards—is so criminally underrated? No matter, I proudly began a Frank(ie) Robinson postcard/oddball collection a couple months back and as long as prices stay down, I can build it up on the cheap.

Agree with Robinson, as the biggest under-appreciated star. Based on his statistics, 2 MVP's, the Triple Crown, he should probably be up there with Mantle, Mays, Aaron and Clemente.

He played in smaller markets and just seems to lack that flashy "WoW" factor.

Of the bigger stars, I've gotta mention Jimmie Foxx also. What a statistical monster this guy was. He put up Lou Gehrig type numbers without the lineup protection Lou had. I've always thought his cards were incredibly reasonable compared to many others.

Ralph Kiner. If he would have been a Yankee then they would sell for 10x what they do now. Led the NL in homers his first 7 years.

I agree with some of the names mentioned, but I didn't see Don Sutton...his cards, including his RC can be had at incredibly low prices.

Hoyt Wilhelm! I bought a 1968 Topps Hoyt Wilhelm PSA 10 Gem Mint on Ebay for $135!! I saw a Mazeroski same year, same grade selling for 2 grand!

Johnny Mize (maybe the most unappreciated HOFer ever - he's treated like someone who doesn't belong, even though until the mid-'90s he was in the top 10 in slugging all-time).
Bob Lemon
Red Schoendienst
Jim Bunning
Luis Aparicio
Lou Boudreau

BTW, Whitey Ford sells quite well on the sets I follow.
