To see cards, simply change set number to 281 from 271 when looking at card.

I don't see it being used much in $140 and up leagues, but that's ok, since I think it's a totally viable card for $100 to $120M leagues which could use some fresh blood - THUMBS UP!

I thought ALL of Mays cards were over priced by about 50 to 75 cents as it was, this looks to be along the same lines, a slight upgrade to the 1954 1R card, but with the higher price still slightly overpriced by about 50 cents, so at the listed price of $11.19 hard to get excited about....for the $200-$999 fans out there you may finally have a platooner vs. rhp for the MinuteMaid/Hilltop stadiums....for the rest of us - THUMS DOWN.

At $9.21 I don't really think it's an exciting card for it's price (not bad either), although I guess it gives options to his 5 man rotation card, so it gives the owner flexibility post draft to bounce back and forth between 4 and 5 man rotations - JURY IS OUT.


Seaver 73

I see a LOT of potential for this new Seaver for MinuteMaid/Hilltop/Deadball parks....I like it - BIG THUMBS UP!

Though I guess technically the 73 Fingers and 24 Vance are "new" in the sense that the cards are different, those are examples of the upgraded SuperAdvanced cards over the former cards for those players.

You also have to change the 1 to a 3, i.e. ...../1/271 to ...../3/281

The superadvanced 1961 Mantle is a lot cheaper than the old version. http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/player/37497/1961/3/281
