Hornsby is very undervalued--he is one of the top ten(five?) greatest hitters ever. His rookie Collins McCarthy type cards are very scarce. I think Cobb cards are also undervalued; he is arguably the second greatest player ever.

+1. IMO, a Hornsby Collins McCarthy is a real treasure--tough, tough card!

Best to all,

Another HOF Arkansan who is underrated and under appreciated is Lou Brock. Great defensively, solid hitter who just missed hitting a career .300 and speed, speed, speed. Like Brooks he is a true gentleman has a class individual.

Brock was not that good. Yes, he had speed, but didn't draw enough walks. Can't hold a candle to Rickey Henderson. Not in Brooks Robinson's league, either, Brooks played a tougher defensive position and was perhaps the greatest defensive 3b man of all-time. Like Brooks, Lou Brock was a class act, though.
