All five of those Tommy Helms cards have the exact same fielding ratings, including SS 3e42. Not the world's biggest problem :D but that has to be an error.


That is how the mystery set cards work. Fielding is the same for all 5 cards.

Neil Walker, 2014, we only have one so-so season (2012) from him. 2014 was his best season OPS+:

512 74 139 25 3 23 76 2 2 45 88 .271 .342 .467 .809

If this hasn't already been suggested, I'd be very surprised. But HOFer 2B Billy Herman really deserves another and better card.

Herman has just one card to represent his 15-year career, his '35 season. His slashline on that card is .341/.383/.476, has a fielding rating of 2e23, and has an in-game injury rating of 1. He has an E split vs LH/RHP.

How about adding his 1936 card? Slashline is .334/.392/.470. His hitting split looks to be a 1R or 2R - very useful and welcome. His fielding pct., which led the majors, and range factor/9 innings are both well better than the league average and better than his '35 card that's in the set. He looks to be just as durable as in '35.

Max shows Herman’s 1936 card as 224 RE. I searched every year for him and he never received a 1 rating.

1991 Ozzie Smith. 2nd best offensive season and only 8 errors.

It's a travesty that we only have 2 Ozzie cards and a half dozens cards of other players including many lesser players.

Jhonny Peralta has 202 career homeruns. Surely there can be a better season to represent him than his $0.63 2009 season. say 2014?? 5.8 WAR, 21 HRs.

Jhonny's biggest problem is his defense. Jhonny turns a lot of Jhouts into Jhhits

Russ Wrightstone, Philadelphia Phillies, 1925, lefty hitter -- OF, 3B, SS, 2B:

.346 BA, .389 OBP, .591 SA.

286 at bats, 18 doubles, 5 triples, 14 home runs.

No card for Wrightstone! Just discovered this guy, he put together a few very solid seasons for the Phils in the mid-20s, even if he wasn't always on the field.

From the SABR Bio Project entry on him: "Everyone agreed on one thing about Russ Wrightstone, who played major-league baseball from 1920 to 1928, mostly with the Philadelphia Phillies: He could hit. Former teammate and future Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel once told a national television audience that Wrightstone was 'the best left-handed line drive hitter' he ever saw."
