1964 Set oddities

PostWed Dec 28, 2022 3:19 pm

Along with RP pricing issue I'm not sure why 0-11 PH only Paul Dicken was included, but Joe Morgan (46 PAs) was left out.

The pricing is interesting. Seems that defense is highly valued (overpriced) and SLG is priced over OBP. Overall, I don’t think the set is as interesting as ‘77.

That's what you call, an easily fixable mistake. I wish they would fix their mistakes once in a while.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a card like Dicken’s. No defensive rating in a non-DH year and zero positive outcomes on his card. What’s the point?

There are also several cards with excessive triples (due to low at bats). Hard to use them without a DH though.

I always liked this 64 set--actually it may be the best balanced set drafting teams without regard to pricing--the pricing of the set is horrible--pitching pricing is horrific, and even hitters are off (Callison 10M+ ?????)---obviously this was probably priced in the early days of on-line----I don't think they would make these obvious mistakes if it was priced a month or two ago.

It kind of sucks when you have to draft very underpriced guys early to have a shot in an 80M league.

That said--how hard would it have been to re-price the set before this re-release???

Was Ken Hunt a real player or was the $4.65M card put in the set as a joke.

It seems there are some really good reliever cards for under $1 million. I just looked at Bill Henry ... how can this card be $0.8 million? I agree about Callison. Definitely need to use some interesting draft strategies to try and land some hitting.

Gene Oliver's catcher rating shows up in a position search, but not listed on the card.
