So according to Merriam Webster the word prime means- first in rank, authority, or significance :
b: having the highest quality or valueHaven't Leiter's cards been in the upper 90s before? His Prime is an overall 90??? I'd give more stubs for an SDS detailed explanation of their ratings system/justification than I would for Mike Trout, Derek Jeter, and Barry Bonds combined!

I have been so frustrated with stealing bases this year, and it’s not even usually a big part of my game regardless. CPU always knows when you’re going, even in good counts and non-steal times. (Forget the fact that they constantly throw over on 60 speed, 40 steal guys. Why?)
And even online it’s bad. The jumps, even with good steal ratings are so horrible.

I think they've explained this on stream before. Cards with specific years (Rookie, Vet, AS, awards) are based on those years. Sig cards are typically a summation based on the entire career where Prime takes the few years in the middle of their career where they were at their highest. Milestones are obviously based on specific instances (no hitters will have high h/9s, milestone strikeouts will be high k/9, career hr milestones will have juiced power, etc)
This is of course a rough re-iteration based on a fairly poor memory so I may be off but that I believe is generally how it goes.

This confirms the first big collection is right around the corner. I thought the 27th but now it might be this Friday.

when do these packs drop

When does this drop?

Such wasted potential. The pack should have said "Always in tents" with a camping theme. Matt Chapman sitting beside a fire roasting marshmallows on the cover.

The market is pretty tanked as is but this might bring it down a bit further before I suspect a Labor Day stub sale will set things on fire for a bit.
Pretty sure you mean Memorial Day.
Lol, apparently my coffee was defective

Al Lester last year was really good. We will see how he is being the base round this time.

Much better than a Mo Lester card

I get that and appreciate the review but as posted above Prime signifies the best based on the simple definition of the word. Prime 90 AL is clearly not the best when we've had higher versions of him.

That 2nd half chapman might be actually gross.
.309/.591/.961 with 14 hrs and 25 doubles with his usual diamond defense/arm.
He should be but I feel like they’ll screw his hitting somehow
Yeah, I don't think they can squeeze in much hitting with Matt's defense and keep the card to a 90 ovr. Just guessing.
Con R 70
Pow R 75
Con L 92
Pow L 86.309 should be better than 70 contact. I would think more like 90 but who knows.

I think it auto-corrected him again right in the middle of explaining said auto-correction.

He hit for better average vs lefties than righties, but way more power vs righties. So his card will be ok. High contact vs lefties with lower power and higher power vs righties with lower contact. Unless sds just makes stuff up.
