Who else has other cards they think are massively undergraded... would be great to hear.
As far as similar to Frank Robinson, I find Carl Yaz rookies still cheap. Although he is starting to creep up there as well.

Yea...you can still get 4's and 5's for under $200. It's hard finding clean ones of that....usually a lot of trash in it.

T206 Eddie Collins. He is top 10 in war and sells cheaper than several lesser hofers. A SGC4 recently sold for 349.00.

Eddie Collins is my all time “most underrated” player when it comes to the value of his collectibles/cards. He sells for far les than players that were not nearly as good. In fact he sells for common HOF prices most of the time (there is no reason Eddie Collins should sell for the same as George Kelly)

I think he has a few things that work against him... he was not very good looking nor athletic looking (I have a hard time thinking kids were wanting to be just like Eddie), he was pretty straight laced and not a larger than life persona. The guy was on the 1919 “Black Sox” team but is hardly even mentioned in that story by most as the players knew he wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with it. In short he is probably too boring.

Not pretty, but a United States Marine. I'm both partial and happy his cards are under priced. One hell of a career.

Joe Jackson's 1913 Tom Barker, National Game and 1914 Polo Grounds are undervalued for his earlier playing days in my opinion. But game cards are second to the rest

Robinson is #24 in career WAR. There are quite a few players with better career WAR whose cards are also not valued highly. On the other side, you have Joe Jackson who is tied for 165th in career WAR.
