Clemente Free Day 1
-
He will probably be the MLB collections reward with a low diamond available from day 1, similar to Mantle, Williams, Mays, and Vladdy in years past.
-
I think a 86-87 version is in the diamond choice pack with a low 90s version acquired from an early program and his 99 will be the legends and collection reward
-
You're overthinking, he's gonna be the NL collection reward.

this is what i think I think he would be a diamond choice at the beginning and then his 99 I would think NL collection or maybe even MLB, but probably more NL collection reward

Looks like my prediction is looking better. Aaron will definitely be LS, which means no way they “waste” Clemente as the NL (only need 1 big name to sell stubs).

Do you know what a paywall actually is?
A Clemente will be available Day 1. I can't remember a single legend they've ever announced for any year that didn't have at least some version available Day 1.
Dennis Martinez says hello.

This isn't hard, people:
AL: Pedro
NL: Clemente
MLB: Aaron -

Hi, Denny! You weren't previously announced though. You just kind of popped up in the middle of the year UNANNOUNCED, which was the specific distinction I made.

He definitely was announced pre release last year, in the wave of legends that were announced through content creators(Olerud, Robin and Brian Roberts, Foster, etc.)

Incorrect. He was in the same trailer as Mantle.
How do I know this? We had somebody draft him in our pre season legend draft for CL.

Never once have they had a pitcher as one of the main collection rewards. I'll gladly be proven wrong but Pedro seems like an inning boss
Unless they've got him plotted as one of the mid-year megabosses (Griffey/Piazza/Jackie in 19, Mo/Ortiz/Walker in 20), I don't see how they wait to release his ultimate 99. The blowback will be DEAFENING.)

You only need 1 big name as MLB to sell stubs. Wasting 2 other huge names would be an amateur business mistake.

I agree

2-3 is probably the best. (Die-hard Yankee fans may not be as juiced for Pedro, for example. It's why last year's Mo/Ortiz combo was near perfect.)
But you're right in the abstract: loading everyone up NOW leaves nothing in the tank for future years. Which means while we'd LOVE to have the likes of Randy, DiMaggio, ARod, Yaz, McGwire/Sosa, etc, it makes sense to space them out so that each edition can have it's own selling points.
-
Pedro and Aaron as BR or RS reward imo. Lol jk. Aaron is live series for sure abs hopefully Pedro is a 99 boss later on with a 90-92 card early on out of some program

I mean, if the card is great and Yankees fans don't want to use it, that's on them.
