Now wait a minute. If Strat were saying not to change *existing*
ratings, I could understand that. But how can a game-company
spokesman say "there is no such thing as a -6" when the cards with
that rating are already out there?? I'm sure not going to change my
1971 Clemente card on the say-so of some anonymous company hack. :-)
By the way, I'd like to wish everyone in the group a Merry Christmas.
Hope you have a good one!
