If the only lens you'd like to view players or cards through is by way of World Series accomplishments, then have it. Seems like you can answer your first post pretty well on your own then.

I do not see where I indicated my "interest level" in Mike Trout's accomplishments but rather the use of WAR as a means of delineation. I am thoroughly versed in the minute details of his accomplishments.
In regards to the Mantle comparison, Mike Trout is one of several who match up with Mantle statistically. However, (as
all of the rest) Mike Trout falls far short of Mantle when it comes to production on the highest stage.
The focal point of the topic pertains to the mass production of the 2011 Topps Update vs the ability sustain its current value.
