Thanks to Sean Skeffington - UPDATE - Suggested T205 Power Ratings for SGC

[nebboy]

Love the list changes spot on.

My closest thing to a change would be -
Irvin K. Wilhelm (Suffe ed In Bio) would be a 4.
Fill its in line with the other 4s in set

Matt,

I completely agree with your post. I'm not sure how they come to those ratings, but they definitely need to readress those ratings.

Your list of proposed Power Ratings are right on. I do agree with Joshua and John about the Walsh and Wilhelm. I tried to get SGC to change the Hoblitzell and Wilhelm for years with no such luck.

Hopefully SGC will listen to the more knowledgable collectors on the subject and correct the Power Ratings especially if enough of us bring it up.

I also think Matt's list is a great improvement.

For the sake of discussion, I would offer the following changes for discussion:
Joss: think it should be a 6
Gray with stats: think it should be a 6
Wallace no cap (2 lines): should be a 5 (like the other HOF pose variations Bres and collins)
Wilhelm...no problem with the "suffered" being moved to 10, for the "suffe ed" verision, I'd say at least a 5...might be a result of hoarding, but I think I've seen 5 of each of the other SP's for each Wilhelm I've come across.

Agree with the other comments on Walsh being a 4.

I also think Matt's list is very accurate. Great job.

I only have a couple suggestions:

I would make would be to keep Matty at the same level as Johnson and Young ("5"). His card may not be as difficult as those two, but it is a very high demand card that sells for the about the same. It is certainly much more in demand than Speaker, which is a "4."

I would also put Evers in the "4" category. He sure seems to be more difficult and more in demand than the other lesser "3" HOFers.

I have to be honest and mention I made the post.... but the "brains" behind detailing the power ratings came from Turner. It was a father / son late night with a couple beers talking T205's like old times. But he was clearly driving the T205 bus.

Sean Skeffington please take note and help the set that gets no respect.

The teacher has become the student. Speaking of the former student, (Turner), he has graduated Ohio University in 4 years (yea) and has a job starting Monday, June 9.Yea!!!!

I am sure his new boss will let him off for National 45 days later. Maybe...Life is funny sometimes.

Thanks,

Matt E.

I'd agree with all the above posts

echoing the Gray with stats up to a 6

Matty Cycle is pretty tough, seen about as many suffered, but matty sells for a bit more
