I decided to jump the gun and get a little productive, and based upon all the great suggestions I have received, and several that I increased from a '1' value on my own, I have included below a proposed updated list. I have italicized the cards that have changed in value. The new Elusive Gold Standard total comes to 389.
I would like to get the total to 400. Let me know if I missed any 1 point value cards that you think should be boosted, as well as any other higher value cards that need, well, higher values. But also tell me if I went too far, and if any need to get smacked down.
And a question for rats60...did you mean Dahlen instead of Daubert? I sometimes get these two Brooklyn 'Da' players mixed in my head. I have a similar problem with a couple of pitchers too, Rucker and Reulbach. And don't get me started on Doolan and Dooin.
