Yes, Adrian has not gotten started with the new card entry yet.

What I find is quite odd is that in the ATG sets, MANY of these Fantasim inaccurate cards still exist but were not replaced (nor even identified by the masses) - just the 4 most obvious and recent ones.


I have been reviewing cards for quite some time. What other cards do you see that compare to the 4 mentioned?
I don't see any that were overpowered to the extent these 4 were.

I played a lot of Fantasim when it was available. My commentary regarding the Fantasim cards is reflected from experience there and direct comment from BernieH (when he used to actually communicate with us). I believe some of the early cards and sets were taken from Fantasim and just kept. While playing the Fantasim game, you did not get to see the actual cards at any time (although I used to refer to the 70's, 80's game and ATG 3 to look at the ones that were in play). Their pricing was based on the card (therefore appropriate for the card in context that any of the cards are priced appropriately). Many of these players were mid range players with higher percentile prices that overperformed on their best fantasim year.

I cannot confirm any specific card (although BernieH could), and I don't want more controversy (although I do like more conversation), but most of the cards I think I recognize were around before ATG4.

Again, I think these cards are appropriately priced at this time, so I would not spend a lot of resources on replacing them if I were Strat. There are lots of more important issues to fix and upgrade first.

When they do get around to replacing these with advanced cards, I am certain Bernieh (who still works for Strat it is rumored) should have a complete list of them.

For the most part, it was the natural HRs that were well out of balance.

Rick, the card reader on Diamond Dope doesn't factor in the pitcher's card, so the stats you referenced assume all rolls on Vaughn's card.
