Incredible numbers. One could easily argue that along with Hornsby, Foxx, Aaron, Ramirez, Pujols and Cabrera, he resides as one of baseball’s greatest all-time right-handed hitters.
Just wanted to acknowledge the props for HH

Harry Heilmann
Most people have no idea who this guy is.

Most collectors know the name Scott Hileman of SGC better than Harry
(not here of course).

So you can't be surprised why Harry and most other players take a major
back seat when it comes to card prices of Mick.

Arguably the best HOFer that your average fan has never heard of. Not a lot of Slug cards out there.

I found this in a 1950's scrapbook I picked up this week, thought it was pretty cool:

Mickey only received 88.2% of the BBWAA votes. How good could have really been?

just so I don't get flamed, yes that was sarcasm. Crazy he only 88.2% of the vote.
