Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Maddux started getting nasty right after those two seasons...

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    Sure did ... that's why you have to give these kids a few years before trading them.

    After his first 5 seasons or so, he really reduced his walk numbers and increased his strikeouts. He figured it out.

    Likely the reason I never pulled him. Still need to go through about 5k 87 Donruss and he's pretty much the only guy I'll be looking for, as everything else is probably picked clean.

    Maddux cards were considered commons until about 1993 or 1994. And around that time, they went from being commons to being valued in Beckett at the same amount as Griffey, Thomas, and Ripken (the highest valued cards in every set).

    Those stats are messed up. His second full season(1988) is wrong. That year he went 18-8 and his ERA was 3.18. All the other stats look wrong from that year too. The first two are Maddux's first two years. Not sure what that third year stat line is though.

    He was much better than average by his second full season, had about five similar seasons like that, then hit the stratosphere.

    The 3rd line is the sum of the first two.

    Even more remarkable considering his place in ther pantheon of pitching greats, check out how long it took Koufax to figure it out....

    Sandy was a bonus baby. Thrown to the wolves pretty quick with no minor league work. Did it hold him back? Who knows. Maybe the switch flips at the same time regardless.

    Ahhhh...the last stat line is a career stat line. I've been recreating a 1990 Donruss Frank Thomas rookie...so I'm one track minded.

    He once described his '86-'87 self as a "clueless heaver."
