I dont want to prejudice peoples reactions with mine

As far as I am concerned you won't prejudice mine.

I haven't really looked at it much yet , BUT

The best card of my all time favorite player, Don Sutton! I am happy based on this fact alone!

I am a bit dissapointed that there are no new features.

Not that many cards that affect high cap (Seaver and Brown will be nice) but quite a few for $100 and $80 cap

Intriguing cards:

The upgraded Johnny Blanchard
The new Honus Wagner card... bad defense but plays lots of positions
The new Manny Ramirez card is a power machine for not much $$$
Steve Trachsel, ladies and gentlemen!

Some of the price changes seem almost random. For example, dropping the price of '61 Robinson card so drastically doesn't make sense if the useless ss1 e8 A-Rod card remains unchanged in price.

Keep in mind that the 1961 cards are now super advanced so they have changed. May account for it though I have not looked at that card and compared.

Did bbrool price the new cards? If not, did they use the same formula? Quick looks from my very untrained eye make me wonder if a different formula was used.

Until I realized it was a new super advanced card I thought the same thing.

Cedeno's card is still a ripoff despite the price slashing.

The new Chino Smith listed with 149 AB? What, was there a NeL strike shortened season in 1927?

Why add part time players? I realize this is just a made up number of at bats but if a new card gets added it should be someone who at least played a full season. And if just making up the number of at bats why not 500?
