Yep I'm torn on what I want. I actually pulled Banks out of that flash pack yesterday. Pulled Weiters today and sold so made like 10k on that.

If it's not an absolute bombshell of a card then I'll be let down

Here is where I'm at.

All-Star : 38 cards available (75% = 29 cards) 26
Awards : 26 cards available (75% = 20 cards) 12
FOTF : 60 cards available (75% = 45 cards) 17
Future Stars : 43 cards available (75% = 33 cards) 5
Home Run Derby : 13 cards available (75% = 10 cards) 7
Postseason : 22 cards available (75% = 17 cards) 14
Prime : 27 cards available (75% = 21 cards) 14
Prospect : 60 cards available (75% = 45 cards) 13
Rookie : 34 cards available (75% = 26 cards) 24
Signature : 15 cards available (75% = 12 cards) 8
Breakout : 34 cards available (75% = 26 cards) 27
Players League : 7 cards available (75% = 6 cards) 7
Veteran : 33 cards available (75% = 25 cards) 25

I have 3 done and 4 almost, but woof I would have some work to do to get the rest etc. I'm hoping its a card I won't care about, but I'm sure somehow it will be and drive me mad on how to get it.

I have 350k in stubs and could have another 300k in cards that I can sell.

UGH

Promo for the big collection. Among the cards that flies by is a prestiged Helton, so I'm fearing the worst. Hopefully prestiged cards aren't necessary but can be done in lieu of one of the other series.

Yeah Prestige would lock a lot of people out I'm assuming. With me taking a three month break I'd have no real shot and anybody buying the game now would be so far behind.

Now would be a good time to do some kind of offline Prestige stuff. Even if it's a bunch of games on AS or higher or whatever but give people a realistic shot to do it. Online players already got the bonus of the marginally better card stats and let's be honest that the attribute boosts aren't even that great. And opening it up now would allow those same people to grind out the other Prestige stuff easier.

Otherwise it'd be kind of wild if they required more than like 1 since you can't sell them.

[NDAlum]

That would be amazing if they added offline prestige grinds now after online guys got ahead start

[papadell]

I don't think it would hurt anything so it would be nice to see. Especially if it was incorporated in a bigger offline drop similar to Sig Teams last year. I'm sure there's enough Prestige cards to make at least one CPU team out of at this point.

I'm still guessing A-Rod but who knows. I find it hard to top Honus who was like the ultimate utility player with elite attributes everywhere. A-Rod would be elite left side on both sides of the ball with unbelievable offensive numbers. Really who else is there?

Would be weird if they made Mays the reward since he was paywalled last year. Even though his card his good enough to warrant it. Have to imagine it's someone that can really play defense too.

Rodriguez is perfect. Big names like Aaron or Clemente but OF is so stacked. There's no chance it's Bonds. Looking at the WAR leaders there's some studs that don't have a lot of positional flexibility although maybe that's looking too much into it.

What if it's

PETE ROSE

WHOS THE THIRD MAN

[kenp86]

2 way Babe is my guess. or maybe DiMaggio

[DanH35]

I really wish I knew if this is going to be a card I want, the market prices are insane right now. I bought all the HRD cards during the flash sale, and they are all going for at least double what I paid for them. I have enough prospects to get Franco, but haven’t locked any in yet, none of them I paid more than 20k for, and some are going in the 50k’s and 60k’s.
