The sets I collect must be very underrated if they aren't even listed as an option on the Most Underrated Set survey

It reminds me somewhat of high school yearbooks and the category of Most Shyest in the Senior Bests section. The real shyest kids didn't even register in the voting because no one really knew them.

ER Williams game cards are my vote. Rare as hell, beautiful cards, and I just sold a VGEX Brouthers on ebay a few months ago for $250! These cards should be worth 5X what they actually sell for.

My vote still goes for the 1913 National Game/Tom Barker game cards. Beautiful photos and a real steal in high grade

Of course, Fan Craze are more expensive, too--but then they came out 7-8 years earlier.

Yeah, but they're some of the most Janet Reno looking cards I've ever seen. At least the Nat Games have nice photographs.

What's wrong with rounded corners, most of my cards ended up with them anyway.

E120-26s could make my list too.

I would have definitely voted for the e121 and/or e120 sets had they been an option.

Exhibit and Goudey 4 on 1s; and DoublePlays - all cut down to individual cards - dirt cheap & make quite an attractive display (especially all of the exhibit colors) organized the way YOU want them.

I know: cut cards = YUCK. But not to me.

You can not get much more underrated than these. But their upside potential is not likely to be too good. But their downside is nil.

Just look at the population reports for PSA and SGC - you will see why!

My vote is for Colgan's Chips. You can pick up HOFers in ex-mt for $50 not to mention the clarity of the photos.

Scott, if you corner the market, they might climb up even more

People are not selling them. And, when they are sold, they are starting to go for too much $$$ for poor little me! BTW - hope your E101 collection is coming along nicely!!!! That is another undervalued set. Also, the E101's are more than likely the forerunners of the E92 sets (all of which are undervalued, except the Dockman set)!

Thanks to you, BCD, Dan K, Leon, and a few others, it's getting closer. It's still interesting how there is some speculation to the E92, E101, E102 etc date distribution and how it relates to Cobb's first true card.

While grading pops don't tell the whole story, it's interesting that E102s are valued signficantly higher (double in some cases) than E101s. SGC and PSA pop reports show almost twice as many E102s graded than E101s. Maybe it was the inital thought that the E102s were from 1908, making it Cobb's rookie year. However, the inclusion of certain players puts them closer to 1909-1910.

Maybe it's the stepped checklist that makes them more appealing???

People did think the E102 set was from 1908. That is the reason it is higher in the guides. However, I am still a firm believer that the E101's came first as a "prototype". Dockman and others did put their ads on back after - for some reason, Dockman only chose 40 of the 50 poses and the distributors of E102's chose less than that.

I would gladly trade two E102's for one Croft's Cocoa in the same grade. I will even trade E102 HOF'ers for Croft's Cocoa commons in the same grade!

But will you trade E94 HOFers for common Cocoas in the same grade?

ONLY if it is a common I do not have however. ALSO, I would trade TWO E94 HOF'ers for one Croft's Cocoa Knight (same condition)!!

Dan - you are right - those Mello Mints are undervalued as well. You got that Lajoie for a great price!!!!!! You still haven't e-mailed me back about the Young - I told you I will give you your asking price of $1750!!!!!!!!!!
