The voice is raspy .... the eyes intent.... the interest is genuine when "the Cardfather" offers you a "deal that you can't refuse." Now, through the APBA Journal, I am offering a service where subscribers can coordinate their SAMPLE EXTRA CARDS FOR SALE/TRADE CARD efforts to fill their baseball want lists and trade or sell their surplus cards. With nearly 1 0,000 loose cards in my possession, "the Cardfather" is 1966 SEA~ -- EXTRAS JftCK.. kOliN offering a deal which is a rarity in these days of escalating hobby costs. QC/-17 /!1)/FII L{) 11'1! After dealing in loose APBA baseball cards and teams for over eight years, .f.AlotJ (Y), BoutJ (.sF-)J I»MS(sF), OR/ltJGYitl£ CIA I have recognized that there are a lot of you who have card wants and he &vet (s~ P~'l>P/ (SF), 956/:J':J. needs that go unfulfilled because of a SANfol[/) (UL}, VALEJmN! ( IIJ/l$). ( 916) 9t8 -SolS lack of a central point of contact among card collectors. So, coordination of this effort has become my goal. All you have to do to participate (free of charge) is to fill out the applicable 3x5 cards and mail them in. Hopefully, we will discover other APBA fans whose collection surpluses will meet your needs. Be sure to follow my "Ten Commandments" when responding with your cards.

15 Indexing TABLE 1 OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST C. Jones 4 5 1-9 34-Up 37-51 1·9 Erving 5 4 55-Up ll-20 1-12 by Flip Rhoads 19·36 Dawkins 4 4 37-54 21-33 52-Up 10·18 Cheeks 4 3 10-21 1-5 13-24 58-Up The new APBA Basketball cards Bibby 3 3 22·36 6·10 25·36 37-57 have hit the market and are ready for use on the table top. Very few TABLE 2 surprises are evident in the set, but one OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST was the rating of Magic Johnson as a C. Jones 4 5 ll-14 53·66 41·51 11·13 center-forward-guard. While the Magic Erving 5 4 51-66 23-34 ll-16 22·32 Man can obviously move to the Dawkins 4 4 35-46 35·52 52-66 14-21 frontcourt and play forward with little Cheeks 4 3 15-23 11-14 21·26 45-66 difficulty, I doubt if he could take the Bibby 3 3 24-34 15·22 31·36 33-44 physical pounding demanded by an 20 19 NBA center over the course of a few games. Therefore if I find it necessary to play him in the pivot, I will reduce his rebounding to a "7". TABLE 3 Eddie Johnson got a "5" rating on defense, but depending on his OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST situation with the law in Georgia, may Erving 5 5 51-66 23-34 ll-16 22·32 be getting his last card. Beware of B. Jones 4 5 25·35 35-46 41·51 11-13 anyone in your league who will get rid Dawkins 4 4 36-46 51-66 52·66 14-21 of him cheap. Cheeks 4 3 ll-14 11-14 21-26 45·66 The figuring of indexes to dice Bibby 3 3 15·24 15·22 31·36 33-44 rolls has appeared in the Journal before, but I have received many OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST letters from people who claim they B. Jones 4 5 35-45 23-34 43·55 11-13 have not heard of it. The idea was Erving 5 4 46-66 35-46 ll-21 22·32 originally introduced by me in the old C. Jones 4 5 11-14 51-66 56·66 14-21 APBA INNINGS of February 15, Cheeks 4 3 15·23 11- 14 22-31 45-66 1972. Since that time, many have sent Bibby 3 3 24-34 15-22 32·42 33-44 me notes saying that they really cut down playing time by using this OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST method. c. Jones 4 5 11-13 52-66 41-51 11·14 The first thing a person does is Erving 5 4 51-66 22-33 ll-16 23·34 take an index card for each lineup. For Dawkins 4 4 23-33 34-51 52·66 15·22 this example I will use the 76ers lineup Cheeks 4 3 14-22 14-21 21·26 51-66 of Caldwell Jones, Dr. Chapstick, Hollins 3 3 34-46 ll-13 31·36 35·46 Dawkins, Cheeks and Bibby. Use the normal method as shown in the LAKERS TABLE 4 instruction book which comes with the game for figuring the original OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST index. It would yield the following Chones 4 3 11-16 36-51 55-66 11·13 which would be placed on a piece of Wilkes 5 4 42·54 13-23 11-16 14-21 scrap paper: Jab bar 5 5 55·66 52·66 21·26 22·32 (See Table 1) Johnson 5 3 21-26 24-35 31-42 33-51 Nixon 5 3 31·41 ll-12 43-54 52·66 According to the APBA Instruction Booklet this is where you OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST end the index process. To figure it to Chones 4 3 16·25 32-44 36·51 11·14 dice rolls, go one step further and use Wilkes 5 4 41-53 22-31 11·15 15-23 the index board to figure the dice rolls Jab bar 5 5 54-66 45·66 16·24 35-46 that each player has for each category. Nixon 5 3 26-36 11-12 25-35 51-66 The Sixers lineup is then changed to Cooper 3 4 11-15 13-21 52·66 24·34 the following: (See Table 2) OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST Chones 4 3 11-16 33·43 52-66 12-15 This final lineup is then put on an Wilkes 5 4 52-66 13-21 11-15 16-24 index card and saved. Each time this Landsberger 2 3 21-26 44·66 16-26 11-11 particular lineup is used, just pull out Johnson 5 3 31-36 22-32 31-41 25-46 the index card and there are no lineup Nixon 5 3 41-51 11-12 42-51 51·66 indexes to figure. Just think of the time savings. Naturally it will take a OFF DEF SCORES REB PF ASST little more time than just the original Landsberger 2 3 11-16 46-66 31-42 11-11 index figuring, but if the lineup is used Wilkes 5 4 42-54 13-21 11-16 12-16 a second time or more it is quite a Jab bar 5 5 55-66 33-45 21-26 21-31 time saver. For instance, if you are Johnson 5 3 21·26 22·32 43-54 32-51 trying to find the rebounder of a Nixon 5 3 31-41 11-12 55-66 52-66 (Continued on Page 20) 16 50 players: 25 on the major league roster, 15 in the minors, and 10 more on a "future" list.

Is 11, three 14s achieved the distinction of having the the card correct? Could APBA have 1964 Bob Clemente (.339)- 0-0-0-7-7-7-8-8-8-8- most powerful card ever made for a designed another card with at least 9-9-10, three 14s modern 5 firstbaseman. two 8s? (submitted by Bruce Havighurst) Technically, the card is correct, but Has any modern player other than What power numbers did Ed Mathews APBA should have given Mitchell more Mitchell hit :336 or less with at least receive in 1953 when he hit 47 8s than 9s. APBA, for the policy three 14s and two power numbers and homeruns to establish the Major reasons mentioned above, tries to give received a grand total of seven 10s and League record for most homeruns in a a player more 8s than 9s. This policy 7s? (submitted by Bruce Havighurst) season by a thirdbaseman? causes APBA to give the standard No. Even in 1968 when APBA Mathews received 1-1-5-4-6 (in three 8s and two 9s even it it gives an added a 7 to each player's card, no order of 66-11-33-22-44), but his extra half hit. When the combination player managed this feat. record was broken in 1980 by Mike produces one more hit than desired, Schmidt, who hit 48 homeruns. APBA cuts back to two 8s and two 9s. Has any player other than 1948 Schmidt had 48 homeruns, 8 triples, Since three 8s and two 9s amount to Mitchell hit .336 or below ·with at least and 25 doubles in 548 at-bats with 89 four hits and since two 8s and two 9s two power numbers and received a 7 walks ( HBPs and sac flies unknown). If are used only if APBA needs one full on 51? (submitted by Bruce he had few of those unknown items, hit less than the number produced by Havighurst) he will receive five power numbers, the usual combination, 8-8-9-9 must No. Among modern players, only probably 1-1-4-5-6; otherwise he will amount to three hits. Since the first 10 1968 (.317) has hit less probably receive 1-1-4-5. Neither is counted as an 8, 10-8-9-9 must than . 336 and received a 7 on 51, but combination is desirable, and both amount to three hits. The other Os, 7s, Alou received only two 14s. show the problem which occurs and 10 on Mitchell's card count as one because of rounding-off: minimal hit each, giving Mitchell eleven hits. Has any modern player hit at least statistical differences produce With three 14s, Mitchell has 33 ABs, .300 without receiving any 7s or 11s? enormous card differences. This and since 11 hits in 33 ABs produce a 1972 hit .308 and problem could be easily resolved by .333 average, the card is technically received 1-1-4-6-8-8-9-9-10-10-10 with giving Schmidt power numbers correct, although it is not as realistic as six 14s. 1-1-4-5-6*. The 6* would be treated as the standard card with more 8s than a 6 with runners on base and as a 7 9s. APBA could have given Mitchell Did Phi/lies manager ever with bases empty. This option wou\d the same basic card it gave 1967 Tony receive an APBA card? more accurately reproduce Schmidt's Gonzalez (.339): Green received four cards, extra base hit totals than either of the 0-0-0-7-7-7-8-8-9-9-10-10 with three 1960-1963. Green was well on his way other proposed combinations and 14s. Several other hitters demonstrate to equalling Rus Kemmerer's career would provide some mechanism for APBA's generosity with respect to record for most D ratings for a pitcher Schmidt to reproduce his major league Mitchell: who never rose higher (five) until he leading 121 1 RBis. Overall, a card of interrupted his streak with a C in 1-1-4-5-6* -8-8-8-9-9 with five 14s, one 1979 George Brett (.329) -1-2-6-6-7-7-8-8-9- 1963. a 14 *, would be perfect. APBA, 9-10-10, three 14s however, may opt for a 10 in place of 1977 Lyman Bostock (.336)- 0-0-0-0-7-7-8- one of the 8s and for no 14*. 8-8-8-9-10, three 14s (Continued on Page 22) 24
