Some great ones in there, Andy.

Forster, Moore, Plesac and Thigpen would all be great exactly for the reasons stated.
Lind and Taylor to help those teams.
Hrbek and Watson definitely deserve better cards.
Willie Stargell is my cowbell.

Listed after that, I think it’s worth serious consideration to add cards for players with no cards.

For 18.2 I'd like to see a 5 or 10 card add exclusively from 1981. There are only 3 hitters and 1 starting pitcher from '81 in the entire ATG set. Just a few of many possibilities listed below...

Nolan Ryan
Dave Righetti
Bob Knepper
Burt Hooton

Tony Armas
Bill Almon
Dwight Evans
Rickey Henderson
Bill Madlock
Steve Garvey
Pete Rose
Gene Richards
Bill Buckner
Cecil Cooper

for the record and general information, Kenny Hubbs was killed in a plane crash (he was flying) he was adequately replaced by Glenn Beckert in the late '60s but some believe he was on his way to be Ryne Sandberg - as for me, I think he was gonna fall somewhere north of Manny Trillo, but south of Ryno on O, but maybe in the same neighborhood on D - unless I am mistaken he set a record at that time for errorless games.


but it was a plane crash, not auto.

I was looking at the "card viewer" app and I see that there are lots of Negro League players that have better cards from individual seasons. I didn't look through them all but these players have better cards available.

Rube Foster
Josh Gibson
Louis Santop
Buck Leonard
Mule Suttles
Tubby Scales
John Beckwith (that doesn't have a catcher rating)
Pop Lloyd
Oscar Charleston
Turkey Stearnes
Cool Papa Bell

Most of the ones I looked up have better cards I am sure most of the rest do as well. There also are pure relievers on those teams too. If we could get a few on here then a all Negro League team is possible.

If there is a better Pop Lloyd card let’s nominate him now while we have an opportunity.

Yeah, for some reason I think I got him mixed up with Danny Frisella, who died in a dune buggy accident.
