Zone,

It's just kind of weird for someone to not know much about baseball history on a forum developed for hardcore baseball card collectors. I too would recommend using google for a lot of the basic historical questions.

I don't discourage questions about cards, like your initial question of did anyone win this card, but adding a reason to know why is helpful. Do you think the pricing is unfair on this because VCP shows XYZ? Do you feel it was misgraded and why? Just asking if someone won one of a million cards on eBay really adds little to the conversation.

Then comparing his playing stats to Jeter's and basing this on his hall of fame credentials shows a real lack of knowledge of the game AND the ability to find simple answers on the internet. You don't need to be a Comiskey expert to learn why he was inducted in to the hall in 5 minutes with a web browser.

Again, I feel discussion on the cards is great. My advice to you would be to do the cursory research first, then ask your question. Otherwise, you're going to get eaten alive on these forums by some of the more senior and knowledgable members. I think the issue has not been the number of new posts, but their lack of substance at times.

I hope the advice helps and I wish you the best in your collecting,
