Perfect! I have not been this excited about a past season release in several years! I can’t wait to play so I will start by researching the season now.
Awesome news!
How about 1974 or 1976 next time?
I have wanted this set in super advanced for a long time. Thank you!
Excellent choice! Can’t wait to get it! 🙂
Great news, Excellent Yankee, Giants, and Dodgers Teams,Hopefully the 1975 and 76 seasons will follow soon,
Not to mention the horrid 40-120 expansion Mets that prompted Casey Stengel to wonder “can’t anybody here play this game?”
The original 1962 set was the first year that I played SOM in 1963. The re-creation will be a must buy for me……..it will Christmas in February, I cannot wait.
62 was a great season; Yanks, Giants, Dodgers,, Mets and many future HOF players. Probably the last strong Mantle-led Yankee team. Good choice SOM! I will buy this set when available.
It is great news, but someone at SOM please realize one set/ year isn’t enough, many C&D players will die before they get to play seasons they want to play
I thought we were getting 1970? Disappointed to me?
Great Choice, Looking forward to it.
When can we expect to see some never created seasons?
It would be great to see the first season from 1901.
Now only 1956 needs to be updated.
Great News!
I hope when the season of 1962 gets printed they will also be on the original card stock love the old card stock even if we have to pay a little more for it
And one more thing- when printing 1962 also reprint 1938 and 1927
Great choice!!!Hopefully,next will be 1952 and 1956-the only missing Mickey Mantle years in super advanced!!!
I Would Like To See More Old Timer Seasons Like 1915, Or 1918 From The Deadball Era, And The 1932 Season, Where Babe Called His Shot In The World Series!!
Love the ’62 season. Now let’s get ’72! Please?
I can not wait for this season to come out. For future years, I would love to see 1903 get made. That was the first year of the modern World Series.
I’ve got every 1960s season except 62. Thank you for letting me complete the decade. It’s a season I’ve been waiting for for a long time!
Tremendous news! Been playing Strat since since 1964. Mays, Mantle, Aaron, F. Robinson, Kaline, where at the top of there game. All had great years. Thank you.
Great season. Would love to see some 1970s seasons issued next: ‘72, ‘76, ‘79, and please re-print/re-issue ‘75 and ‘78. The ‘70s are when a lot of older Strat fans first got into the game, and I’m certain these would be big sellers. We aren’t getting any younger out here : ). Looking forward to the new seasons.
