Hi, everyone! What a pleasant surprise to see seven new members already! Thanks for joining! I'm already supposed to be on my way to work, so I don't have time...
Fellow list members: I just discovered this on SOM's Web site. Again, a couple of mistakes have made it on a season set of baseball cards. The good news is, at...
Fellow list members: A private e-mail I got from a group member yesterday asked me if I had any ideas on how to protect Strat cards from continual handling....
Fellow list members: I'm one of those who track Strat-O-Matic items on eBay, and I've already seen several 2004-season baseball sets on sale. I think most who...
While I am not a spammer, since we are all in the hobby together, and I am not making any money on this, I do want to take this opportunity to invite all of...
I also suggest making copies (on 110 lb. card stock) of the cards for your team only. I enlarge them to 1.28x their 3x5 size. This makes them much easier to...
Fellow list members: I've had a little time to look at the new baseball set, and I like what I see. No fewer than three divisions had tight races, and that...
I agree with your premise that those ebay sellers that sell currently available som teams for 3.95 or more each are a pain in the ---. I also dislike that...
Hey friends, I am a long time SOM player who is in need of 2 cards, both Detroit Tigers extra players to complete my 1971 set. They are B Denehey and M....
Hi Cary, I think I can help you with all three of those cards, but they are "off site" and I am not sure when I can get to my "storage facility" to retrieve...
I will anxiously await further dtails from you. THX!!!!! Cary ... but they are "off site" and I am not sure when I can get to my "storage facility" to retrieve...
Fellow list members: Two weeks ago in another group, where we were discussing SOM's new super-advanced 1948 season, someone mentioned that 1957 will be the...
Gary, I think all your points are well taken. Some highlights: there are some analysts who used to consider Mantle's 1957 season as the #1 offensive season...
... OK, I get the picture. Yes, the year did have some great individual performances by future Hall-of-Famers, even if both pennant races were snoozers. In...
... Stargell and Clemente. Baltimore's four 20-game winners. Mickey Lolich's 25 wins in an unbelievable 376 innings. Vida Blue's 24-win MVP and Cy Young...
The SOM website now shows the corrected card images for Paul Abbott and Jae Seo. Question: Were these cards only wrong in the card set? Or do they also need...
... Steve: Thanks for posting this. I can't remember the game company having to correct entire cards like this before. The first thing I'm going to do when I...
For Paul Abbott, it was only the basic side of the Philadelphia only card that needed the correction, so that will not affect any of the leagues I am in which...
... After closer examination of my 2004 cards, I discovered that Abbott is only an additional player at that. His basic-only card change isn't going to affect...
The ESSOM Spring League, founded in 1974, formed a Hall of Fame in 1992, and has held ten Hall of Fame elections. The eleventh ESL HOF election balloting...
Hi everyone,just curious if this is a group geared more to cards or pc or both. I'm a long time face to face card player,but due to lack of mgrs.,unfornately,...
... Hey, Patch, As the group's home page states, the group is "for discussing all things Strat-O-Matic." It's not geared to discussing one genre of the game...
Its a shame they dont make a Mac version but with their marketshare declining in retail somewhere around 1.2 percent still under 2 per cent including all uses...
... The market share is a problem, granted, but perhaps not as low as you're suggesting; PC Magazine columnist and noted Apple-basher John C. Dvorak puts the...
I haven't owned the PC game since 1993 (been playing SOM baseball since 1982). Now I'm a cards only guy. Using retrosheet.org and self-made Excel scoresheets,...
Data marketing research puts at 1.2 for retail which is the indutsry standard for marketshare Dvorak is probably using an old figure that includes everything...
Fellow list members: I've sent Strat-O-Matic a handful of e-mails in the last five years, and this is the first response I've had to any of them. I give kudos...
Dear Mr. Schwartz, Thanks for your e-mail of March 10. I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my concerns. I'm also glad to see that someone actually...
