1. A pre-modern stat that correlates even more with team wins than any sabermetric invention is Wins. Yet nearly all fans would agree that ranking the greatest pitchers by wins is a flawed exercise. 2. Let's take two players who have identical stats. One is a clubhouse cancer. The other is a leader and motivator, often giving his teammates helpful tips on how to face certain pitchers or play certain hitters. While various formulas would lead to the same numbers of runs or wins, the reality is the players would lead to very different numbers of wins. 3. You mention most analytics are qualitative but also that they correlate with winning. By definition, correlation cannot be measured unless the variables are quantitative.

As was mentioned before - today's cards will be worthless if torn or ripped, even if it was a manufactured 1/1. ALL of today's cards are supposed to be at least NM/MT or else it loses its value very steeply. Only a vintage card can wield that kind of power - a power that creates demand for it in almost any condition. I had a couple of pennies, so I thought I would toss them into this well and make a wish.... :) |
