Your most underappreciated cards (to outsiders)

[Archive]

Posted By: Joann

Do you guys show your cards to non-collectors often? I do, and while people's eyes always light up at the Ruth and Cobbs, for the most part it's hard for me to explain to them why some cards are so cool and why I like them so much.

Here are the most underappreciated cards in my collection - the ones that I really like but can tell that the non-collector is looking at politely, wondering if I am going to break out any more Cobbs or Ruths.







It doesn't seem to matter that a card is hard to find, unusual, old (although people do seem to wake up for a few moments at anything 19th Century) or even another HOF'er like Matty.

Some of you guys must experience this much worse than I do b/c you have cards that are a lot more expensive and rare and even obscure.

What card do you have that's the most underappreciated by non-hobbyists?
