Highest WAR seasons?

DonMattingly · 06-23-2020, 12:02 PM

I saved over one season's worth of PP to get a SE Rickey 1985 card, got him at close to the end of my 3rd week and then unleashed him fully the next week (which was last week) in what would be my final week in the Rookie leagues.

He doesn't seem to be slowing down yet in Stone:

He's playing in an offense-maxed home park and his stealing is set to the highest aggression level. He's produced close to 8000PP since I've had him. He's also made a bunch of crazy plays in CF.

What are some of the highest WAR seasons people have seen so far?

In almost the same situation on an alt team, I have the 92 SE PEAK Ichiro. He has been off to a slow start in Stone but I'm sure he'll break out of it:

Another way to look at a card's value is how many PP they earn.

This is 3 seasons of Rookie and 2 2/3 seasons of Stone for "Bonehead" Merkle. He cost me about 650 PP from the AH. I'd say he turned out to be a nice investment.

He also played in an all-out offensive park, and he was my lead-off hitter with his stealing aggression turned all the way up. So he racked up things like "Leading Off in Style", "Running Hard", and also went 40-40 3 times (including one 50-50 year):

Any halfway decent card can rack up points while you sandbag in rookie

I dont hate the strategy since its a flaw in the game and I did it last year, but I didnt post every day about it

This team spent 3 seasons there and they are F2P, I don't think that qualifies as "sandbagging" at all. I spent 100% on cheap offense, saved and then upgraded my pitching.

List for me all the cards that can earn like Merkle did for under 700PP.
