Good point...

But his '53 Bowman Color is a very "sexy" looking card. One of my personal faves, FWIW.

Forgot about Jimmie Foxx... that was a good addition as well.

Frank Robinson , never gets or got his do's ! He might be the most under rated player of all time ? If not , for sure in his time ! I know you guys will say others , but I'd say he did not make the top 10 , in most peoples cases ? Hard for me to take , for his stats are right there with most players , won awards & a couple world series also , also was a trend setter , 1st black manger & even hit a HR in his 1st game as one ? Also worked in the MLB office for a few years ? Tough player & not many players can say that , also ?

I was thinking Robinson as well. He�s more �inner circle� hall of fame than many realize...yet his cards remain pretty reasonable.
