The 1953 Eddie Mathews is different on there. I think Atg has the one that isn't "super advanced".

Looks like all the 1953 cards in atg are not super advanced. I wonder if we have to wait til atg 9 for them to be changed.

don't know if this is the right place to put this, but the Braves franchise BADLY needs a shortstop from Post WWII onward. How about '93 or '97 Jeff Blauser whichever has a better fielding year. Both are nice hitting options.

I think Michael Young should get a better card.. And how about a Robin Yount card where he can play LF?

There are no Yount cards in the Strat inventory where he plays an even passable LF: Only in 1985 he's a 2(+3)e12 in LF and didn't even have a good offensive year then.

Would LOVE a good Young card, but his value would not come as a 3b, only at SS or 2b. Unfortunately, his only year as a 2 at SS was 2008, where he was a 2e12, but was very pedestrian offensively; one of the weakest offensive seasons of his career. His BEST season is 2005, when he won the batting title, but defensively he was a SS-3e19. Wish Start were willing to move that 2 Range rating around to a better offensive season. He's really ruined by his only good defensive season coming in a bad offensive season.

Interesting. I think some of the Young cards are usable if they are priced right. I take your word for it about Yount.

Yes, I don't mind playing a 3 at SS (gotta be low error rating though) if the offense is right, especially in smaller caps. I'm mainly saying that I feel the community wont VOTE for a Michael Young who's a 3 at SS.

Yeah, Yount's value comes as a SS. Adding another OF card for Yount seems to be a waste of resources.

Rosie, you have a tough (impossible) task keeping everyone's voting agenda happy with only 25 cards every three months for the next 9 months. For consideration, how about more narrowly allocating slots, so we spread different voting agendas around. For example, for each 25 card add, you allocate
4 slots for those with no cards
4 slots to add a much improved card
4 slots to add for a franchise [rotating]
4 slots to add for a position [rotating]
4 slots for high caps. The votes always seem slanted to high caps, so having this as an exclusive category might encourage voting for more "milder" cards in other slots.
4 wild [rotating] - could be mvp/cy youngs, or rookie of the year, high stolen bases, ops no higher than 750, pre-WW2, post WW2, dead ball. You name it.
1 for someone who just missed a previous vote, automatically getting in that you choose. There are so many here already, you deserve something for all your work.

Hey SOM, most of us are over 50. As Rodney Dangerfield said ' Let's go, while we're still young!"

How about double the Adds? That would make us happy!

How about bolstering RED'S starting pitching with 1988 lefty Danny Jackson 23-8 260ip 35 starts 15 complete games 206 hits 71 walks 161k 13 hrs 1.06 era. Reds best starting pitcher doesn't even crack 8 million
