Honus collection
-
The biggest collection in the game last year was honus wagner. It was a money pit and a grind to complete. It involved essentially owning most of the non live series cards in the game (breakout, all-star, signature series, etc.)
It also required you to play 250 innings with every team, do a ton of exchanges, and a bunch of team specific missions (none of any of these things were repeatable btw) to unlock all the team affinity reward cards.

I don't believe doing the team affinities were required and I think that exchanges and innings were repeatable.

You needed to do most of the team affinity missions because that's where a lot of the all star and break out cards came from. There were very few of those cards that were ever made sellable, and certainly not enough to complete the sets. Signature series became the easiest ones to get done near the end when everyone got a 99.
Also, I could be wrong but I was pretty certain the exchanges were a 1 time thing. I seem to remember if you did the exchanges and missions up to full you were still 5 points short and playing innings was the only option left. Innings were repeatable though you're right but it was only 5 points per 250 played.

What was required:
50 Rookie cards
60 Breakout cards
25 Impact Vet cards
80(!) All-Star cards
15 PostSeason cards
30 Hardware cards
60 Signature cardsWhen the Collection was announced, it was impossible to complete certain collection types without getting cards from the Live Series Collection and/or the Team Affinity program. For example, there were only 61 rookie cards in the game when Honus dropped, 30 of which were unpurchasable and could only be collected via Team Affinity, Team Collections, Conquest, Moments, etc)
There were 3 one-time exchanges for each team in Team Affinity:
10 point exchange
15 points
20 points -
Because The Show continued to have collection categories for the card types (including new categories this year for Prospects, Future Stars, Face of the Franchise), we're all assuming there's another Honus-like collection coming eventually.
As the above linked article notes, the collection dropped in late July last year. Given the timing (which would have coincided with this year's originally scheduled Cooperstown weekend) and given the existence of this item (https://theshownation.com/mlb20/items/9c16b0e83f09596202f402261f25c8a9), I know who I'd guess is this year's mega-collection.

If you’re the confident in it, then i would recommend putting every stub into investing for this. I think 30 percent of this community would spend their last actual real life dollar dollar to get jeter. It would be a little messed up though to have two Yankees as the major collections.

I know how it could be worse than having a Yankee as another major collection.... throw a Hank Aaron in there and people would go nuts over the amount of Braves legends/flashbacks lol

For context on why it was Honus Wagner last year, his actual baseball card is the most expensive card ever sold in an auction. SDS claimed it was only for elite collectors, which matches the card IRL. It had mostly to do with this, rather than him actually being a player we wanted.

https://www.beckett.com/news/world-record-price-for-t206-honus-wagner-baseball-card-3-million-and-counting/It wouldn’t surprise me if it was honus again. I think it would also be neat if you got other cards for doing the individual collection. So, an extra postseason card for doing the ps collection. Similar to how ls is for each team except you wouldn’t have to collect all.

FOTF: 17 of 60I’m at diamond 80 and will finish up all the 85 and lower collections when I hit 85. So, that’s a decent amount of the ones missing. I’m also going to keep two of the players league from the event and 5th inning. I will also buy and lock
In the 5th inning when I get them. The FOTF is where I’m really behind. -
Honestly if they have something similar this year I am thinking it could be Willie Mays. Mantle is already LS collection, so if they do something bigger he seems the only one that might be worth it.
Mantle, Mays and Ruth OF ouch. Maybe Teddy or Griffey as subs for Ruth.
