Depending on the season set you own (or are thinking of buying), you should be
able to use ONE of TWO Chart Books. Either the "WHITE" Classic Chart Book, or
the "CURRENT" Chart Book. This section identifies which season goes
with which Chart Book.

it is designed to be used with the asterisk system on fielders, not the
double ratings contained in the 1981 season. Also, the numbers, 41, 46 and
51 in column six were designed as possible hits, not the new possible extra
base hit for the 1981 season. The letter ratings in column 5 for the
batters are set up with the latest on-base chart ratings, so do use the
newest chart for these letters.

Replay and the old Instant
Replay also put out a set of Cooperstown Classics that were inserts with the
Newsletter. I counted 79 of them this weekend. These all came out in the
1980's. There was also a 9 person Negro League set issued by the IR as well.
Gary Plunkitt did all the ratings and John Brodak and Replay did the printing.
FRAN
Also, Replay Review issued
several cards/teams/sets. I will attempt to collect this information as well.
Mark, you may want to list
somewhere the newsletters that have been published dealing with Replay. I will
send you some details about the 4 mentioned in this note to Al-who the editors
were, what years they came out, etc.
I will check out the listing of
sets and match it to the CB's and send you any info I come up with. Regards,
FRAN
Hi again Mark-- On your web
page, you may want to list all the Cooperstown Classics that were published by
the Instant Replay newsletter in the early and mid 80's. These were configured
by Gary Plunkitt, printed by John Brodak and published by Jim Pertierra, who
was the editor of the IR. There were 79--I think, I will count again!!
Hall of Famers and Negro Leagues. I will count
them in the next few days and let you know. The stats were based on their best
season!
Regards, FRAN
