Riggo said this in one thread
Hey, nice job Riggo with those ratings. Actually, the many threads you wrote were a lot of fun to read. It kicked a boost to my enthusiasm to return!!
Just came back from 2 years of SOM inactivity, and boy! do I concur with you: the 7.60M Aaron card and Torii Hunter are among the great bargains of the set. They fall in my top 10 best bargains, and that's even before making stadium adjustments.
Several of the latest released cards look pretty good in my ratings, makes me wonder if SOM changed its methodology to evaluate cards. Lieberthal, Baldelli, the 4.75M Molitor card, they all look pretty good in my ratings.
But how about 1.03M Renteria! He's the best cheap value in the set by far!! Man, if Wallace is a bargain at 2.95M, how so much more is Renteria!
But the best value of the whole set I think is the 11.25M Bonds.I know it's no secret that his card is so much good, but when I ran my formulas last weekend, I was very surprised by the magnitude of how good he is for the money. He's the only player in the whole set that my ratings have 2M above his price tag. Actually, his value when used as a dh is set at 14.22M in my ratings.
Last time I had such a wide gap was Victor Santos! The oldtimers will remember.
Bonds' 11.25M card is such an extreme card, it could well be that he's an outlier because of methodological biases in my ratings or because of a real understimation by SOM. In any case, in my comeback team, Forbes field, I followed my ratings blindly and went all in with Bonds! We'll see if that will work out or not.
