I kinda disagree with you on the Baines card by overlooking at minimum 4 White Sox years with the one for Oakland. Try looking at his Baines 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 as he had MVP votes in all 4.Okay, th number of Sox cards might be 3rd but when at least 50% or more of those are from 69 to 40 cards that argument don't pass the smell test. I'm trying to be a good soldier & spend $$$$ but really not happening. I almost got demoted to bronze with all the great Sox cards.
Just frustrating waiting for some cards but not happening either.
But thanks for replying bro, love the work yall do.

Re: White Stockings: it wasn't necessarily a comment on the team (like it's possible when you combine Orioles and Browns maybe they have more cards than other teams). White Stockings were actually the Cubs from some of those 1880s years. Some of those early years it's confusing what teams were called what.
For Baines, sorry I missed one A's card, in his entire PT career (PT 19 to 25 to date), he's had 9 White Sox cards, 2 Oakland cards (I missed one from the Build a Legend year), and 2 Baltimore cards. He's had a White Sox card in every iteration of the game so far, odds are he will get one again.
It's hard to balance everything, for sure. There's a lot of teams and a lot of history, and I know the team picking cards does their best to both represent the best of history, while also highlighting some lesser known parts of history too (like those Baines Oakland years).
