Most PSA collected Non-HOF Modern Player that is/was eligible (banned/"juicer"), but isnt in.

To me, that would eliminate:

Rose
McGwire
Griffey

Im thinking Mattingly or Will Clark.

    How about Munson?

    You guys beat me to the punch. Off the top of my head I'd say Mattingly followed by Munson. He probably doesn't fit the modern criteria, but if he did Maris would be up there too. I'm sensing a Yankees theme image

    Strictly by collecting popularity, it's got to be Munson, for sure.

    Based on the numbers of PSA player sets registered, it's Munson, Mattingly, Maris (assuming he counts as modern), and then Garvey.

    What about Dave Kingman?

    Without going in and looking, I would think Mattingly.

    The remake of the original M and M boys ... Mattingly and Munson for sure.

    As non-Yankees go, Dale Murphy has a very good following.

    IMO Munson sells better than most modern HOF players.

    Griffey has too many cards. Go look at the behemoth of his master set...I used to collect it and dropped out. I stopped at 33%, and it was just over 3,000 cards when I stopped.
  • jay0791jay0791 Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭✭
    As a die hard Yankee fan I would say Larry Walker.

    Munsons cards are all much higher in price and scarcer. Mattingly has only a few on the higher end.

    This was my first thought. Cuts across both baseball and football.

    Why is Griffey eliminated?
    Good for you.

    He will be elected without a doubt, probably first ballot

    First ballot with ease, but we'll never see a 100% guy.

    Interesting Question...

    1. Thurman Munson -- Someone should do a PSA 9 analysis of his VCP average sales compared to HOF'er of similar period and he'd probably be higher than everyone but Ryan
    2. Roger Maris
    3. Steve Garvey
    4. Tony Oliva --- all of his cards from 1963 to 1969 are extremely tough in high-grade
    5. Dale Murphy
    6. Steve Garvey
    7. Dick Allen
    8. Don Mattingly
    9. Chipper Jones
    10. Jack Morris
    11 -20. George Foster/Boog Powell

    Players that started after 1980 don't really have that many high dollar cards outside of inserts
    Enjoy your collection!

    You can add 1970 to that too, IMO.

    Ok, I'll jump in on this one

    I would have to agree about Roger Maris.

    As far as being in the HOF, I agree Tony Oliva, don't know how popular his cards are though

    You could put Ted Kluszewski on that list. I have a raw 54 Klu that I was thinking of having graded and starting a basic set, I noticed there are 16 Klu basic sets registered, which is more than a lot of hall of famers.

    Mattingly i would think
  • KK Posts: 1,364 ✭✭✭
    Frank Thomas has a pretty huge following. I'm sure he'll get in eventually.

    Roger Maris
  • Hank36Hank36 Posts: 175 ✭✭
    I've been collecting Graig Nettles since I was a kid, although I've never gotten any of my stuff graded. The value to me is mostly sentimental--these aren't just old cards, they're old cards that I've had since they were new. I only really got over collecting Nettles a couple of years ago--when he had (literally) 75 cards in that Yankee Stadium set, I sort of said "enough is enough".

    The thing is, I'd always written off Graig's chances of getting into the HOF--but now that Ron Santo's in there, how can you then not induct Nettles?
  • beebeebeebeebeebee Posts: 110
    just think about the word "fame". who is more famous than roger maris? he has the non-juiced home run record. he won the mvp in 1960 and 61. he not only was on the yankee world series teams, but then went to st louis, and lo and behold, they went to two world series with him. bill miller

    Why is Travis Jackson in the Hall of Fame? Supposedly he was this awesome defensive shortstop. Let's see...

    Fielding % as SSscapy
    1925 NL .942 (3rd)
    1926 NL .962 (2nd)
    1927 NL .952 (4th)
    1928 NL .952 (3rd)
    1929 NL .969 (1st)
    1930 NL .956 (5th)
    1931 NL .970 (1st)

    OK, well...maybe the guy could hit. Let's check Wikipedia:

    "He batted .300 or higher six times and, although not known for his production, hit 21 home runs in 1929 and drove in 101 runs in 1934. He finished his career with 135 home runs and a .291 batting average."

    .291 career batting average? Wow, doin' a heck of a job there, Brownie.

    I ask again: Why is this guy in the Hall of Fame? I'll take Alan Trammell over Travis Jackson any day of the week.
