Undervalued & Underappreciated Hockey & Hoops Cards
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a nice 1948-49 Exhibits Card of George Mikan. A real undervalued card in my opinion when compared to his Bowman RC. Maybe some of the recent hobby love for Exhibit cards will rub off on this one? Post some other cards (Basketball or Hockey) you feel are undervalued or underappreciated.

Looking at the pics above, and although I am biased, I would say the Beehive hockey cards are undervalued and underappreciated.
These have been around since the 30's so it is surprising they are not sought after more. |

Most definitely underappreciated. Probably because of the size. Curious to know if these were sold in the U.S?
Anyway I've started my signed BeeHive collection with Glenn Hall. Every journey begins with the first step. Attachment 269585 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk |

Most listings on E-Bay are from CDN provinces, but I have seen American listings as well. Nice P/U with your Glen Hall. Mine are currently for sale/trade if you are interested? I have 245 of them in sheets and in binders. |
Hmmmm. I've got some stuff you might be interested in for trades.
My email neilfrancis1955@gmail.com. Some interesting autographs you might like. We can barter via email if you'd like. Let me know. Thanks Irv. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I like these team issued postcards, rookie year Gretzky and one year before his rookie Roy.

And here's a Bird a year before his RC.

That Bird is definitely on my wish list Peter. Super tough to find gem mint.

Moving off rookies, while I am not a big fan of the Icee Bear issue, I love this one, costs very little.

And here's a relatively obscure (perhaps for good reason though I like it a lot) Magic.

Nice Peter! Here's a non-rookie that took me years to find!

First post here.
I am going to go with the 1933 O-Pee-Chee 'Series A' Eddie Shore Rookie. Before Orr, there was Shore! That's right! In the 1930s, he was probably just as big as Morenz was. Boston fans worshiped him, while hockey fans in other cities wanted his head. :eek: The arenas were always full every time he played. The sad part is, majority of hockey fans today don't even know who he was. The NHL is partially to blame for this because all they want to talk about is Wayne Gretzky. Anyways, check it out below: |

I think a really highly undervalued card is Mike Bossy. He was an outstanding player and a big part of the New York Islanders winning their Stanley Cups. He was nothing short of a pure goal scorer.. He is still ranked 21st overall in the NHL for goals scored, and NOBODY has a higher Goals/Games played % than him at 0.762..You can pick up a PSA 8 of this guy for around $125.00, Considering a Gretzky in PSA 8 sells north of $4000, and centering is an issue with the 1978's, The card seem like a real bargain to me..

Beautiful card. I agree the 78's are a nightmare with centering. I have a stack of them all OC.

Leaders cards get no love. Between being oversize, the three all time greats, and the colors, for $30 I will take it.

The Test Orr RC is undervalued IMO, it's the '52 Mantle of hockey! Around 100 are believed to exist and a lot of them are really off-centered.

I well recall some years back when a gent placed an ad (either in here or SCD) and let it all hang out by stating he would pay something in the vicinity of $8,000 for a 1951/52 Royal Dessert Gordie Howe card. The "Royal Stars of Hockey" set, devoted to the Detroit Red Wings, had to be cut off the back of the product package. While the photos are black 'n white, they are nice head and shoulder shots---very well-rendered. Google the set if curious, but photos may not show up except by Googling individual players. Any Gordie Howe collector would "go white as a sheet" if they were proudly crowing to a competitor about their high-grade Parkie Howe rookie, then were quietly shown the competitor's Royal Gordie Howe. 'Nuf said, as per usual. ---Brian Powell |

But yes, I grew up in D.C. and Hayes was a hell of a player, even if he did have an annoying proclivity to disappear offensively in the fourth quarter. The championship team with Hayes, Unseld, and Bobby Dandridge was very entertaining as well as good. But the Nils Lofgren song was bad. |
