Big Collection Guesses!!!

@ericulous1_psn said in Big Collection Guesses!!!:
There are still a handful of legends big names that should get a high diamond. Correct me if there are any that most likely won't get any.
Legends-
Ken Griffey Jr.
Albert Pujols
Cal Ripken Jr.
Jimmie Foxx
Kirby Puckett
Warren Spahn
Jeff Bagwell
Harmon Killebrew
Andruw Jones
Willie McCovey
Alan Trammel
Tony Perez
Ron Guidry
Shane Victorino
Don Sutton
Jack Morris
Juan Pierre
Fred McGriff
Will Clark
Juan Mariahal
Dave Parker
Tino MartinezSome of these are probably not worthy of another diamond.
Keeping in mind we may see 10 more of these if we get a part 2 of RIB later this month. If thats the case i would venture a guess of the following being safe bets. Plus will still have another 2 player programs this inning and a few more for inning 10.
Victorino
Clark
Pierre
Morris
and Martinez -
I feel like if it’s not Griffey,Trout or Bo Jackson people will be disappointed. Bo Jackson is highly unlikely but one can dream. Also I hope we get a Cedric Mullins in the Finest packs. I know Mountcastle is the TA program pick.
-
I hope it's Trout. I hit so well with him last year. I also would love to see Griffey Jr. I'd be disappointed if it's anyone else.

Imagine the market crash if it was Cal?
Yesterday's action would pale in comparison.

Hahahahahahaha....ok, why does everyone hate Cal? Is it the weird stance, the long swing? Too tall?
But yes, you are absolutely right. Total Bedlam.

He’s really tall so his strike Zone is huge and his swing is long and slow. Cal is my all time favorite player too but I never use him,

If it was Cal people would burn down SDS headquarters

It's going to be Pujols SS card for the big collection and Trout finest card from few years back will be the finest collection reward.

Trout has never gotten a finest card

I played really well with him during TA2 but that was offline which is obviously a whole different world. I think we'll be getting a Cal but I doubt it'll be the collection. Of course I was wrong about Kershaw and Mookie.
-
And everyone's point about Cal is valid.
But that's why I don't always want 100% realism. It sucks that Cal is completely unusable and he's absolutely a MAJOR figure in baseball history.
So maybe keep his stance but speed up his swing?
And maybe introduce him EARLY as the most juiced card attribute-wise next year?
-
I count 22 players on the list, and once they're done with Finest I'll be surprised if there are even that many cards left to be released. There just isn't enough time left in the game cycle. Best case scenario is maybe half of those players getting a high diamond this year, but even that is probably wishful thinking.
-
I think 99 Trout and 99 Jimmie foxx
-
99 Griffey is the only name that’s worthy of a collection. Trout was already a collection a year ago.

Pujols!!!!!
I get it, in the game Griffey is better but come on. Pujols hit at least .300, 30 HRs,100 RBIs, and 100 runs in 10 straight seasons. Nobody else has ever done that. Not to mention all the insane milestones he's hit (5th all time HRs, 3rd all time RBIs, 3,200+ hits etc). He has 2 World Series rings, 3 MVPs, Rookie of the Year, a batting title, a few gold gloves and on and on.
I know some people only care about the cards that dominate online HOF, but many of us enjoy collecting and grinding offline or playing at lower levels. I'll take an Albert Pujols collection reward any day of the week.
I also want Griffey of course, but Pujols is definitely worthy.

depends on what you classify as the game cycle.prior years content ended late nov/ early dec.(except for holiday stuff) last year the forever stuff was after new years, i m guessing they push it further this year, especially with releasing a month late.

Cal Ripken had a bunch of different stances throughout his career. He tinkered with it constantly. It would be nice if they gave him one of his different stances that would help his swing animation.

I think he was a program player or something in 17. I remember being super excited to get him because on paper he was a huge improvement for my team...and boy was I disappointed lol. I've only used him for team builds since.
-
We know they usually add rewards for each card type collection with each new Big Collection. Any chance they add a flashback PotM card for collecting all PotMs? I cant remember if they did this last year. @SaveFarris_PSN was that where the Castellanos card came from?
It would be a good way to add in that Mondesi card. -

Yeah . It’s really disappointing. If you ever want to hear about a crazy Cal story that was swept under the rug. Look up Cal Ripken and Kevin Costner. It’s pretty wild and I was told from a fairly reliable source it’s true. You can only believe half of what you hear though.
