Cheap new cards?

PostSat Sep 27, 2014 9:04 am

To those that may know....
Are any of the potential new cards under $8M for hitters or $5M for pitchers? Such that might be used in a $60M league?

Otherwise, the announcement is like reading about a new Ferrari, it looks cool, but I'll never get to drive it.

Well, I voted for Rick Wilkins, on the theory that he would provide a relatively cheap LH hitting catcher who will kill RHP.

His 1993 season is .937 4R. At present mine is his only vote, but if he picks up a few more votes, he might just make the top 20. I could sure use that card if it became part of the set.

You might want to explore and see if you find other cheap, usable cards and vote for those. Hughie Jennings doesn't need more votes--he's going to make it anyway. So now may be the time to try to help along some of the cheaper cards that you want to see.

I didn't see prices, which would help me vote.

The new Lenny Dykstra is making a nice lead-off hitter for 5m, but that may be steep for a 60m league

Agree prices could make a difference in who I might have voted for.

Am I missing where prices are listed?

Strat doesn't even know the prices yet. They have to play a round robin of "pin the tail on the card price" to decide ;)

Yes, to clarify, I was just guessing that Wilkins will be cheap.
