Of extra interest 600+ AB+BB. Only 140 games played. 2 INJ represents missing 14 games but having only a 3 game injury risk.

.349/.440/.468 36 2b, 11 3b, 5 HR

700+ AB+BB Game injury only.

Seen a lot of people use the 49 Robinson with similar defensive rating.
I bet he wil be used in many leagues at second.

too many gbA for my taste on meyer's card/

dickey looks like a bomber

[WeatherNut]

Both of these cards match the ones I have for 1935 and 1937.

The recent Lajoie and Vaughan cards do not match the ones I have.

They both have exactly the same number (20) of gbA's. That's the standard number for the non-Cadillac season cards.

what's a non-cadillac card?

A Chevy.

Two methods of making cards.
1- Cadillac. Fine attention to detail. gb(a) balanced well, L/R balance too. Etc.

2- Chevy. Pretty much every batter gets 20 gb(a), every pitcher gets 0, less attention to detail.

Anything poached from fantasim is liable to be a Chevy.

[The Last Druid]

Cadillac seasons are super-advanced and represent 1000's of hours of painstaking research by SOM to provide us with the most realistic stats possible, at least according to their hype.

Other seasons, the vast majority, rely more on canned formulas, where for example, the default is 20 gba's per hitter card and none at all on the pitchers card.

1. How bout a pre-weekend teaser?

2. My assumption was that all of the cards except these new fanta sims were all cadillac cards...or am I being fooled with kit cars? :shock: :o

[Valen]

Probably being fooled with kit cars. Very few who make player requests ever pay attention to whether that player comes from a cadillac or chevy issue of the cards. Thus many get requested that only have chevy cards.

As noted the gb(A) is a guide to go by. Cadillac seasons have a variable number on the hitter cards and a gb(A) presence on the pitcher card instead of a gb(C). So if a pitcher has that gb(C) odds are extremely high it is a chevy edition.

Wonder how the motor companies feel about our nicknames for these cards?
