What card would make you want to do a Honus type collection this year?
-
Alex Rodriguez
-
I'm doing it no matter who it is. I'm an obsessive collector in this game.
-
Hammerin' Hank
-
Honus would be ideal as I'd like to have him at shortstop again. If not him, then Ruth, Mays or Griffey (without fielding issues like 19).
-
Hank, mays, . I’d like randy Johnson or Pedro. But that would be tough locking a pitcher in early since you get less frequent use. Unless they made either of them really nasty.
-
Albert belle with a corked bat
-
If griffey is the big collection reward I’m going to be really pissed
-
The Great One, Roberto Clemente.
-
Josh Gibson seems like an ideal reward for this actually.
-
watch it be a Braves Future Star...
-
Hank Aaron or Lou Gehrig for me
-
A prime Sandy Koufax.. imagine a pitcher...
-
Someone who’s ever played for the Rockies... so I’m not too concerned about it lol
-
I mean if all the braves means anything it'll be hank aaron
-
Babe would [censored] me off, hiding him behind a paywall. Wagner makes the most sense. Clemens/Bonds would be the biggest incentive for me.
-
AROD or Beltran.

I’ve been thinking about this. I have a lot of collection cards saved but not locked in because I’ve decided there’s a good chance I skip it. It would have to be someone really good. Of the players we know they have, im not sure who would really hit that for me? Griffey, Babe, Mays, Gehrig and Ted are the “big guys” that I’m still waiting for and not sure if any of those would do it. Griffey would be the closest. Mays was the LS collection last year, so can’t see it being him. The 99 Trout maybe?
If it’s a new legend, that’s more something I might do simply so I can play with that guy. But now sure who would do it? Hank? Clemente? Unit or Pedro? Those might make me lock in. Jeter wouldn’t and I don’t know who else it could be.
What if, hear me out, that was just a one-time thing for SDS. It’s very possible. They got Honus’ rights and did it that way with the excitement and legendary status of the Honus tobacco card. I think it’s possible we’re all speculating for no reason. I know I wouldn’t do it if it’s Honus again unless it was later in the cycle and I had nothing left to spend on.
