I saw this card (an absurdly lowly rated 83) on the market the other day for 12k and snatched it up immediately thinking I could easily resell it just for the name and recoup my PP. Just 5 minutes prior to purchasing him I saw a different higher rated Gehrig go for 20k so thought it was a good gamble.
I immediately put him up for auction 3 times over the course of the next day for various minimum bids and buy nows only to get zero bids. Since this took place all in the entry pool phase, I thought perhaps the timing for selling wasn't right so I withdrew him to see how he would do.
Wow. So far, he's on pace after April to hit .341 with 50 HR's and 120 RBI's. I checked out his real stats from the year in question (1931) and discovered he hit .341 with 46 HR's and 184 RBI's!!!!!
It got me to thinking how this card could possibly be an (83) and came to the conclusion his fielding and baserunning stats are pretty low thus hurting his overall. Nevertheless, I feel this particular card at 83 is a steal (although I did pay that premium price myself).
In any case, I was wondering if any others here have had this card on their teams and how he did for them?
