Stage 4 TA?
-
Again, this is just a guess, but the only thing that seems like a remote possibility as far as a consistent theme goes for stage 4 would be like a "franchise award winners" type thing where they just release a ton of awards cards for a player from each team. They could find gold gloves, silver sluggers, Cy Young winners, etc from at least 1 unreleased player from each franchise I'm guessing. That's the only viable theory I've got left lol

I think they should have All-Time " Busts series:
I would take a David Clyde, Josh Booty, and Jared Mitchell TODAY.

My guess is it’ll be finest players

You could be right. But there are 3 big reasons why I don't think they'll be Finest cards:
-
If they're reserving Finest cards for TA4, some of the guys for each team who will be deserving of Finest cards (like Soto, Tatis, etc) are already in TA stage 1. So are they gonna release 2 versions of the same player in 1 program? Maybe but I doubt it.
-
So far this year SDS has not gone more than 2 months between releasing each stage of TA. Stage 3 was at the end of June. I'd say we can probably expect stage 4 no later than mid September, before the season ends. So they won't have Finest cards out by then.
-
There are still a LOT of legends and flashbacks that have yet to receive their top card and there are still not that many ways to release them. Yes, I know there's the new beachball pack and I know they just released 4 players in one Ruth program and might they do something like that again? Maybe but even if they do, there's still a ton of top level cards that need to come out and TA4 would take care of a lot of those.
Again, just my theory but to me it makes the most sense.

Thanks for the input. I already have my favorite teams maxed out but might gamble and complete a couple other teams in anticipation for a good stage 4 player.
-
Hopefully it’s not a designated set, but the best FB or Legend they can come up with for that team.
-
I think it will be post season busts. 63 Kershaw with the underwhelmed quirk 1 and 2. A Cano that will give you a free elite tier DOTP if you hit above the Mendoza line, and a "Killer Bee's" set that automatically drops you to spring training in RS.
It will be epic.

The Phillies traded Ryne Sandberg and Larry Bowa for Ivan DeJesus
Even better! Ivan DeJesus it is.
The Phillies honestly never won a trade. They also gave up Fergie Jenkins for scraps. And Curt Schilling for scraps. And Scott Rolen, etc. At least with the Hamels Trade it resulted in future National Legend JT Realmuto coming in
They eon the Halladay trade,though with him blowing his arm like that they paid too much,but it was still a win, lost on the others though

I got 3 guesses.
-
Finest cards from past years (I would personally be disappointed at the lack of innovation)
-
Another set of legends from the 90s-2000s from each team, maybe awards series cards. (Royals could be like a Mike Sweeney or something)
-
This would make no sense, timing wise, but I also feel like it’s the most likely. a final set of Future stars as there is still a lot of guys out there like K-Lew, Adley, Franco, etc, that don’t have high diamond cards yet. And it leaves room to throw finest into packs where they’ll cash in, like always.
I’m in favor of more legends and flashbacks we haven’t seen. Please god no more fiction.....I mean future cards!!!

Yeah those are good points. Especially the release date part. I didn’t think of that.
