Is the Comiskey a popular card in the Old Judge set or just a regular guy?

Are you really asking if a HOFer is the same as a regular guy?

I hear he was sort of a regular guy - if you asked him for money, he generally said "no". He enjoyed a good meal, he liked to go to baseball games.

Oh yeah, and he had two major league baseball parks named after him.

But the real question is- "was he on Twitter?" ....

I guess that would help a lot having 2 baseball parks in his name. Thanks.

You really are not wanting to put in the time to do the research yourself are you? Did you bother reading the link I provided you with? You are trying to simplify his inclusion into the hall of fame without fully understanding the impact he made on the game.

Yes I am reading up on this player and I understand he did a lot for the game of baseball, maybe I do not see the whole picture yet but yes I am reading up on him myself (I do not own a specific book about this player).

I purchased about 10 baseball books in the last 2 weeks and learning a lot. Finished the books on Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and Christy Mathewson (Learned he died later in life from complications from the war effort...chemical weapons) and now reading about Walter Johnson then it will be Hugh Duffy. I also read the book called T206 The Monster.

Looking forward to reading Cap Anson's book.

Please do not say I am not doing my own work I simply have yet to get to reading in detail about this specific player.

Adrian I commend you on your enthusiasm and I'm impressed with the number of books you have read in the last two weeks.

I've been reading Crazy '08 since Christmas! Half way thru it..... I usually muster about 2 paragraphs each night before I konk out.

It's been interesting to follow your journey the last couple of weeks or so. I don't recall anyone yet giving you the advice "it's a marathon, not a sprint". That advice is usually given to people who are chasing the monster, but I think it applies to alot of things.

Zone,

It's just kind of weird for someone to not know much about baseball history on a forum developed for hardcore baseball card collectors. I too would recommend using google for a lot of the basic historical questions.

I don't discourage questions about cards, like your initial question of did anyone win this card, but adding a reason to know why is helpful. Do you think the pricing is unfair on this because VCP shows XYZ? Do you feel it was misgraded and why? Just asking if someone won one of a million cards on eBay really adds little to the conversation.

Then comparing his playing stats to Jeter's and basing this on his hall of fame credentials shows a real lack of knowledge of the game AND the ability to find simple answers on the internet. You don't need to be a Comiskey expert to learn why he was inducted in to the hall in 5 minutes with a web browser.

Again, I feel discussion on the cards is great. My advice to you would be to do the cursory research first, then ask your question. Otherwise, you're going to get eaten alive on these forums by some of the more senior and knowledgable members. I think the issue has not been the number of new posts, but their lack of substance at times.

I hope the advice helps and I wish you the best in your collecting,

Ambst95
