I only compare using new players because I have NO idea what good stats looked like back in those days.

Here in Canada 99% of the time when you start talking about baseball people simply just change subjects after a few minutes.

If you want to talk hockey then I know all the stats by heart almost of every player since 1952. I watch hockey almost every day (since 1989) and know a lot about that sport.

You guys have your national sport and us ours....but I was getting tired of hockey and getting a bit older I was able to actually watch a whole baseball game without getting bored or changing channels.

As far as my question goes in my research this card last sold for double what it just sold for the EXACT same card so it made me wonder maybe someone knew more about the player at double the price than it's new owner.

I think you hit on it right there. If you had included the pricing info on your initial post and your question about it, you probably wouldn't have caught any or as much bull from the others.

I am a hockey fan and root for the Penguins. I went to school in Pittsburgh in the dark years before Lemieux took ownership, tanked a season, and got us Crosby. I know very little of hockey history, buy find it to be the best pro sport to watch live.

As the earlier poster said, try to enjoy the ride. It's a lot to learn. Have you ever watched Ken Burns's documentary entitled Baseball? If you want a good lesson on the history of the game, I'd highly suggest it. It's an 18 1/2 hr history of the game that should help bring you up to speed.
