Have you completed the Finest collection yet? So many of those cards are around quick sell value that you could probably get Finest Realmuto, Yates, Cole, and Yelich for free if you quick sell as you lock in.
I have not had the chance to complete the Finest Collection yet, no. But here's where my collection stands at the moment:
10/25
93 1B Daniel Vogelbach, 94 LF Mike Yastrzemski, 94 SP Matthew Boyd, 94 RF Trey Mancini, 95 C Mitch Garver, 95 3B Brian Anderson, 96 LF Jeff McNeil, 96 LF Yordan Alvarez, 97 SS Fernando Tatis Jr., and 99 RF Cody Bellinger.I also have the 99 Kirby Yates as a reward for collecting 10.
Additionally, I have 25,000 stubs.

When you lock them in, make sure you also lock them in under the program section so you get the program stars. Especially if you plan on quick selling any of them.

Almost forgot, I also have the Finest Juan Soto and the Finest Ronald Acuna Jr.
I haven't claimed the 9th inning program pack yet, in which I have a choice between Finest Charlie Morton, Finest Liam Hendriks, and another Finest Juan Soto. Who should I go with?

I loved Acuna's finest card last year, such a nice swing. It depends how much Soto is going for but personaly i would take him and sell him and then go get Arenado who it looks like is going for 10k and is one of the best finest bats from 19. Lindor and Rendon look like there also 10k.

You can put in buy orders for all three of those guys for around 5K, so it's not a decision you should stress over. You can always sell and grab someone else if you don't like who you pick.
Morton is definitely not better than your top 5 in the rotation, so I would skip him.
Soto is a solid left handed bench bat, but I wouldn't start him in the outfield since his defense is meh and you have better options. Especially if you go after 99 Yelich.
Hendricks would be a decent option depending on how the rest of your bullpen looks like.
*I would also probably be starting Acuna over Henderson if you have him, but I've never been a huge fan of Henderson's stance. I hit okay with him, but I felt like he had less power than his attributes showed, and he didn't feel like he actually had 99 speed.

I updated my original post and listed my bullpen arms. I also put Jason Kendall in the 8th spot in my lineup for some speed and contact. Moved Johnny Bench to... well... the bench
Now the bottom half of my order is as follows:- SS 99 Barry Larkin
- 3B 99 Brooks Robinson (working on getting someone better)
- C 96 Jason Kendall
- Pitcher

Managed to get a couple thousand more Stubs. Since I added Hornsby and Mays to my lineup, Robinson only seldom joins the hit parade. I'm thinking of going ahead and purchasing Finest Rendon or Arenado, but I'm stuck between the two.
They hit about the same, of course (Arenado just has a little less plate discipline). And while Rendon only has gold fielding stats, he can be moved to 2nd and 1st, while Arenado can only be moved to 1st (but has better fielding). Which one should I go for?

I loved Arenado's swing last year but in my opinion you really can't go wrong with either.

Lineup is doing pretty good now. Mays performs perfectly for me in the #2 spot and keeps hogging the Player of the Game spotlight, ha. Only drawback to having Kendall as my catcher is that he can't fire the ball to 2nd like Bench does, but the lineup performs well otherwise.

How many people still play 19?

So I just completed the Live Series collection in MLB 19, and got Rogers Hornsby and Willie Mays. Added them to my (already fairly stacked) lineup, but given that I have a lot of talent here, I'd like to hear your thoughts about my lineup. Note that all the below cards (except otherwise noted) are part of the Signature Series. I'm open to suggestions on any changes I should make!
- LF Rickey Henderson
- CF Willie Mays
- RF Cody Bellinger*
- 2B Rogers Hornsby
- 1B Albert Pujols
- C Johnny Bench
- 3B Brooks Robinson
- SS Barry Larkin
- Pitcher
Bench: 3B Miguel Cabrera, CF Duke Snider, 2B Ryne Sandberg, C Ivan Rodriguez, SS Fernando Tatis Jr.*
Rotation: Tom Seaver, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Christy Mathewson, Nolan Ryan
Bullpen: 92 PS Patrick Corbin, 89 PS Blake Snell, 89 PS Stephen Strasburg, MA 86 Brandon Workman, 96 Trevor Hoffman, 95 Wade Davis, and 99 Kirby Yates.*
*Finest player
Lots of 99's. If your lineup leaned any further to the right it would fall down.
