Love how three of these are for walk off wins and NOTHING for the walk off 2run homerun, and the ONLY runs for Pittsburgh that game, by Suwinski.

He might be really good too. Especially being a switch hitter.

That's what we need - another Yankee card (Trevino). As of a few days ago the Yankees already had 30 non-live series cards in their collection. The next closest were the Phillies with 25 and the Red Sox with 20.
Meanwhile 14 teams have fewer than 15 non live series cards.
Nothing against Trevino but but I am sure some other performances that week were also worthy. Performances by players on teams that don't have a lot of extra cards already.

I still don’t get why people mad at the selections, if you’re a veteran of this game, you know that most tops now cards are usually bench players who hit a walk off, not top prospect pitchers that get a five or six inning first outing win, or occasionally a reliever that goes immaculate… It think we got two players in Bo Bichette and Jazz Chisholm who have got significant diamonds, other than that it’s usually role players.

We know that. I find it hard to believe that they could not have found another worthy option. I know that Aaron Judge or even Tommy Edman are not getting Topps now cards but how about Jesus Aguilar, Sandy Alcantara or Luis Gonzalaz? You could have substituted any one of them for Trevino.

Yeah Escobar's swing is so GOATED. Jared Walsh is underrated too.

They did but it was for the previous week I believe.
Here is a checklist
