Also, contemporary accounts indicate that he was a quiet, understated, and dignified player, but a fierce competitor.

Hi Keith, do you have a link to your Vaughan Collection? I'd like to see it. I also collect any Arky Vaughan memorabilia I can get. I agree that he is underrated and should have been elected to the HOF much sooner IMHO. I actually don't have any Vaughan cards as i'm not a card collector(but would still like to see your collection) As you know, there isn't much memorabilia out there for him but I add whatever i can. regards, Brandon
