How will adding Negro League stats affect collecting?

Hi Guys

How are adding the Negro League stats going to affect collecting?

I wonder who the guys are that USED TO HAVE, say for example, the ticket from the game where Willie Mays got his 3000 hit?

Bet they are scrambling now to see how many hits Willie had in the Negro Leagues (16), checking box scores and looking for a new ticket from a game played before the one they have in their collection!

What other collecting areas could be affected?

Anyone here have to chase something new because of the change in stats?

Not me directly, and can't say for sure. But one thing I'm certain of: Auction Houses will leverage any changes to stats, any way they can, in their item descriptions. :)

I have to imagine Artie Wilson cards will see an increase in value. From common player in 1950s PCL sets to last player to hit .400 is quite a jump!
