Preparing for This Year's Honus

It wouldn’t surprise me if Honus or something equivalent required a certain number of fully Prestiged cards

You’re also going to need future stars prospects and faces of the franchise. Besides just buying anything and everything you’re going to need to do some grinding for some players too.
Checked the stats for last year's honus, def not worth the millions of stubs. If I need a high contact / vision hitter, I'll use Tony Gwynn #lol

I doubt it. They want people to spend stubs to complete the collection. You can’t spend stubs to prestige cards faster, and it would likely turn even more players away from trying to complete it.

So I have Mantle and about 220K stubs. Should I be buying the diamond stadiums and other legend cards now while they're cheap?
I wouldn't buy the stadiums. You can earn them for free in the Innings.

I think it will either be Honus again or nobody. The purpose of having that Honus card so rare and expensive last year was because the most expensive real baseball card was the real version of the virtual Honus Wagner card that was out last year. It was dubbed to be for only the best collectors. It doesn't really make sense if it is a different card if you ask me.

Yeah he or some other old school player are the only “rare” choices but....
Well if they had the rights to Upper Deck the 89 Griffey used to be a holy grail, but not after market saturation. But in the early 90s it was coveted by every young boy that collected lol

I doubt it would be Wagner to get this treatment 2 years in a row...
I'm hoping for Yaz or Pedro.

I just found a binder of some of my old cards that has the Upper Deck "Dream Team" cards. A shirtless Canseco, Will Clark in a suit, Doug Jones with the baseball on fire, etc. I remember at the time they were kind of chase cards due to how different they were. LOL.
Edit: My mistake, these were from Score.

If you want to get it done early, then Rookies, breakouts, allstars, veteran, and postseason cards is what you need now. Prospects and the players league cards I am fairly uncertain on whether they will be included or not. Future stars shouldn’t be a problem as you would likely need most of the TAs maxed out to get the collection done fairly cheap anyway. Prime, SS, and Awards cards will be given out like candy later in the year so if you done want the collection done right away wait until october/november when there is a bunch of them given out for cheap plus the eventual headliner bundles will drive those cards way down

Agreed. There’s a good mix of players to challenge Honus anyway. And some of the future stars cards are so beefed up anyway I’ll take those for free
