Next addition, a few more high cap cards...

From recent sets, for middle infielders, how about:

2009 Troy Tulowitski (1e10)
2012 Robinson Cano (the (in)famous 8R card)
2016 DJ Lemehieu
2016 Jose Altuve
2016 Brian Dozier

2007 Heath Bell
1968 Bobby Bolin
1971 Jim Brewer

thank you Bill!

There doesn't seem to be too much of a shortage of possiblities--

now a few of these guys Ive looked at the cards-- and unfortunately the cards don't match the stats, or even close.
I usually look first at the OBP of the hitter vs. the card and see a big discrepancy in some cases, but having said that, we do the best with what we got.

Adding deadball pitchers is a sure way to get high priced cards. Look at Schupp and Ford. Silver King 1888 584 ip with a .874 whip.

George -

How about Gabby Hartnett's two best years (35' and 37') when he was 1st and 2nd in the MVP voting? Catcher is definitely a position where more options are needed especially at the upper echelons.

Michael

Heilman's top season where he hit .403
Our Ed Roush card is no where near his best season.
We are missing Bonds' two top OPS+ seasons.
Sosa's best season.
Aaron's two best homerun per at bat seasons 1971 and 1973.
Stargell 1973
Mariano Rivera's best season.
George Davis's best season.
Kershaw's historic 2016 whip season. He is a non-asterisk which puts him in the class of the 9.28 Pedro card.

That is just off the top of my head.

Plenty of great suggestions here, really. Nice job gents on this.

2012 Robinson Cano (the (in)famous 8R card)

A platooners dream.

I can find few quarrels with the list Druid posted earlier today.

Dixie Walker 1944
Harry Walker 1947
Heine Manush 1928
Paul Waner 1928
Johnny Mize 1939
Harry Rice 1925
Cy Semour 1905
Edd Roush 1923
Heine Zimmerman 1912
George Stone 1906
Travis Hafner 2006
Gary Sheffield 2000
Sherry Magee 1910
Albert Belle 1994
Vlad Guerrero 2000
Richard Hidalgo 2000
Carlos Pena 2007
Derek Lee 2005
Rudy York 1937
Duke Snider 1954

I've been thinking for several days that we don't have Duke Snider's best season: 1954. We definitely need that one. Actually I like ShakeyBoomers whole list.
