Well, both of you outbid me, then.

I'm cool with my '41 Mel Ott, though.

T205 "Joe" Bates, "...one of the best batters in the league." Baseball reference has contemporary comps like Doug Glanville and Jose Cardenal.

That shows you how flawed Similarity Score is. Glanville OPS+ of 79, Bates 122. Bates was a MUCH better player. Even if you don't consider an era adjustment, a .367 OBP is quite good, while a .315 OBP is horrible.

Glanville may have gotten some credit for his defensive stats. I agree that it's not easy to compare eras. They have Mike Mitchell as his contemporary comparison.
I was kind of hoping to show that Bates was more than a "common", but I don't think I accomplished that here. Most of the players that made it into T205 and T206 were pretty good.

Rob, nice job getting the Bates Broadleaf, I dropped out pretty early, but thought it was a great looking card.

I ended up snagging a few that helped fill some holes in my t205 and t206 set.

Thanks, Jeff, nice cards. I had fun bidding in the auction.

I bid on it too. I think being the single card from the set was an advantage. Luckily, I wasn't part of driving up the price on it. Instead I got hung up on another lot and drove up the price on THAT one.

The 41 Ott was amazing. Made me regret not doing Play Ball. Yet still thought about it. Congrats.
