Comments
I swear I've commented on this excellent list in the past. Perhaps I'm confusing it with another. Anyway...outstanding work. I love a lot of your choices -- not sure how "underrated" the cards or players are in some cases, but great list, nonetheless. v3 | ||
Thanks Vvvergeer. Yes, you have definitely commented and made suggestions to this list in the past. I believe Rick Reuschel was one of them. Over the years I have made additions, used suggestions, and revamped the list overall. Part of the revamp work was cleaning up the statistical information, and doing some updating regarding the many little fun facts and/or thoughts on certain players. It has been a while since I've updated the list with new additions, and the previous comments made were from a few years ago (time flies)....so, I decided to continue with a fresh comment section. Thanks again for revisiting the list. Joe | ||
Cool list Joey. I want to go after some of these cards, especially some from the 70s. I would point out that Bernie Williams was ALCS MVP, not AL MVP, in 1996. | ||
Thanks for revisiting this list Switzr1. I corrected the Bernie Williams error, and will be adding more cards soon. | ||
How can you leave out the '88 Score Rookie/Traded & '88 Score Rookie/Traded Glossy of Roberto Alomar? They both sell for peanuts considering the print run. Best overall 2nd baseman of all time (offense and defense). Most Gold Gloves of any 2nd baseman in history. Would have reached 3,000 hits if he'd have had better seasons offensively during his 2 years in New York. But he faded fast after 2003. His mind was no longer in the game and he was ready to move on. | ||
That Young one is certainly interesting. Say, is Willians Astudillo eligible for this list yet, or too early in his career? | ||
DarkSide830, thanks for checking out this list. This particular list consists primarily of retired players, or players near the tail end of their career. An active player 'underrated rookie card' list is something that I have thought about doing, but haven't quite got around to it. It's a great idea that would definitely generate a whole lot of opinions, and constantly evolve I'm sure. But if you have any recommendations for this list that you can think of, I'd be glad to see what they are. Joe |
