Honus Collection
-
I'm also wondering about prospects and future stars. I've been told that collections with player rewards may not be included, but I'm not sure. The future stars collection only got you stubs and XP, and there are a dozen or so available on the market as well.

I would think Future Stars and Prospects would be in play, I think the prospects would also include the gold prospects from TA as well though and not all the others from Sets 1-3 would be needed (probably some).
I don't feel like HRD or Player's League will be included. -
I've read people think it could be released in stages. I personally think we are getting a new 99 legend. As well I think they are going to have it be a choice between 3 players. They seem to be going heavy on the choice packs this year.

I don't feel like HRD or Player's League will be included.I agree with this. 99% sure prospect cards and future stars will be included probably as separate collections. I don’t think they can add the HRD and PL collections as they’re so few players for each

Would guess these will be similar to programs in that collections will advance you points wise. Guessing the the collections that will give the most points will be Complete Live series collection (with MLB, AL and NL like last year), Completed FOTF (each of the 3 levels so far - 60 total), Stadium Collection, then the other stuff like Players Tournament, HRD (I do think these will be included, but not required to complete the collection), Prospects, All Stars, Veteran, Breakout, Post season, Prime and Awards. Prime and Awards will be interesting, as there are not a huge amount of those yet, but there are many many more to come. Guessing that will be the biggest obstacle to finishing. Hopefully, there will be a few levels of cards you get along the way, instead of just one like Honus last year.....
-
I could see the stage 3 TA players being a big part of it because you can actually buy them instead of earning them.
-
My guess is that it is Jeter.
-
I personally do not care to have a Jeter card but Hank Aaron would be a reason to want to do the collection.

I don't feel like HRD or Player's League will be included.I would think that too, but they’ve been giving out PL and HRD cards like candy and it has to be for a reason. Those PL cards haven’t been competitive for a couple months but they are still inserting them as program rewards and in conquest. No one is really clamoring for more Dwight Smith Jr cards so I have to believe they are purposely flooding the market to ensure a good supply.
FWIW my guess is DiMaggio, but who knows.

Eh I’m a huge Yankee fan but I feel like that card would probably be underwhelming. Idk how they would justify giving Jeter above 70 power

Now this would break the game. Imagine a Hank Aaron card with 125 power from both sides, 110+ contact from both sides, diamond defense and 85+ speed. Sheeeesh

If it is not a new player I hope it is SS Foxx with secondary as C
-
Here are some New legends I would do the collection for and Jeter is not one of them.
Aaron
DiMaggio
Clemente
Speaker
Ott
Yastrzemski
Greenberg -
DiMaggio used to be in the game to me he is not as great of a player to get a collection like this now him being in the game would be a big deal so it would be a big collection. I would think this collection could be the babe or foxx. For not new players and Aaron for new players

So over the last few weeks or so I’ve spent about 350k on some of the players I didn’t have for certain collections (really regret not going in and buying them when the market was basically dead). Who do you guys think will be the collections reward? And for those who played last year what was the market reaction when the collections reward was revealed? Did all cards go up? (Aside from live series)
I noticed playing at shibe that it references the streak at 56. Chasing the streak would make sense.

This year there’s been a lot of over preparing for things by the community. I don’t think the TA3 market drop will happen again cause this card shouldn’t be sellable, but I could see this being another investment flop since everyone and their mother has invested in gold flashbacks.

I think it depends on the card. If it’s a must have you’re going to have those people that are impatient and willing to pay the high prices on the market. I didn’t go through it last year but that’s what I’m thinking
-
I'll say it again, why would they make both major collection rewards= Yankee centerfielders? I also dont think Dimaggios abilities would be reflected well in this game.
-
What if the collection reward is not a legend and just a super Mike Trout card?

I honestly don’t think it matters, I can’t think of any card that was extremely rare ever having a reasonable price just because it wasn’t a “must have”
SDS is actually insanely surgical with these things to the point they deserve credit. They’ve had like 20-30 different types of collections/exchanges over the years and at this point have thoroughly mastered locking in stubs from people that pay money, while at the same time allowing hardcore players to access the same card by just playing, and actually even make stubs off the people who do spend money. TA is a perfect example this year because can buy it all, or earn about a million stubs depending on how you want to do it.
When the collection comes out 90% of the community will learn about it because they simply don’t use this site, and the majority of SDSs money comes from them. The people who use this site already have everything ready like they have all year because SDS helps out its hardcore players, which is still the best part about these guys.
TLDR: This site is basically insider info/trading and still a small minority compared to the player base. Betting on the majority to spend stubs is a gift from SDS and you should take it.
