- A top 5-7 hitting catcher vR
- Better defensively than nearly all the top hitting catcher cards

So, when the clear best hitting catcher in the game goes for over 300K, then the new card that is probably the 2nd best catcher (he doesn't need a platoon on the elite teams like other top non-Gibson catchers and gets the handedness advantage every at-bat), 300K in the first month of its existence makes a ton of sense.

I'm not shouting at clouds although I am old. Just wait buddy, time will fly by and you'll wonder what the heck happened. Trust me on this.

I agree switch hitter is a big plus and I admit I platoon Johnny Bench but that is a ton of PP and I'm not seeing the return for so high a cost.
