The term common is a long standing hobby term. The term is basically used for any non-HOR or non-star player. As time goes by, it basically means any non-HOF player. There are very few non-HOF stars from the pre-WW2 era that command a premium above a common. PLyers that come to mind are the Black Sox players and Moe Berg. Jewish players tend command a premium, but most people, like myself who are not Jewish, could care less if a player is Jewish and won't pay a premium becaue of it.
