Chase is not in the HOF, but his cards are priced like those of a minor HOFer, for the same reason cards of the Black Sox are similarly priced -- he was banned from baseball for being corrupt and tied to gamblers, and was part of the general corruption in the sport that culminated in the Black Sox.

Also, in his day, Chase was considered one of the best in the sport. His defense at 1B was ground breaking and easily the best in the league. His offense was excellent as well. He may well have been a HOFer if not for his "issues". Who knows what his stats might have looked like had he not thrown games constantly. He also likely could have played a few more years as well. He was still going strong when he "left" the game.

"Prince Hal" was certainly a larger than life personality. All of this, in addition to his infamous nature, is the reason he is highly collectible today.

I bet at some point in his career Chase took 5/1 odds that he'd make the HOF. He also lost that bet.

Chase is not holding a HOF trophy. The HOF did not exist for another 20-25 years until after that card was issue.

If Chase was taking 5/1 odds on making the HOF he was being pretty optimistic given the HOF didn't exist. One of like the modem players who have incentive bonuss written into their contract for winning the MLB Dvisional Series MVP. They don't award an MVP for this series so these players have no way to earn that bonus today. But MAYBE someday. So they have their agents write it into their contracts.
