Next Big Collection
-
It seems like with the drop of Jackie/All Star Content, and now the new RS and Event rewards both being Classic Finest series that we are getting close to another big collection reward. With the first being a 3rd baseman in Brett, I feel like this one could be a pitcher. Any thoughts on who it could be? Obv Randy Johnson is out, maybe Pedro?

We haven't gotten a 98 Bret Slenderhagen yet

I'd love a Pedro, but for anyone to care besides fans (like myself) they would have to give him a 120+ H/9 and Outlier.
If they make him similar to last year's insulting 99 Sig Pedro, it would be a disaster.

I can see it being someone like Rickey. With them being big on the flashback finests if they gave Rickey one of those he would be a real nice card. It won't be anyone like Trout, Griffey, or Mantle because there isn't going up from there on any future collections, but with someone like Rickey combined with flashback finests they would make a good card without automatically making future collection cards worse

99 Willie Mays is my guess
-
I’m thinking 99 pedro

We did, you just didn't see him.

This is a good thought; but I'm thinking they go pitcher here. There has to be at least one pitcher. And I know they had Kershaw last year. Did they have anyone else besides Mookie, Griffey, and Kershaw?

Mariano Rivera. So 2 pitchers. Which makes the next collection reward probably a 90% chance we're going pitcher.
Edit - Although Live Series collection last year had 0 pitchers and this year we got Randy.
Still leaning pitcher though.

With LS collection being a Starter I think a reliver is a safe bet. I also think people would accept it being Chapman. He would be usable all year.

I like this idea. Or a Wagner 99. Either would be solid choice.
If it's a starter, I'd say Pedro, Verlander or Degrom.

I'd personally be disappointed, if only because my FOTF Chapman has a sub 1 ERA and I don't really feel the need to replace him with another Chapman

We are lite on elite CF. Could be Mantle, Griffey or Trout.
All three have been major collection rewards the past couple years. Griffey Jr. was the final collection last year, before that they didn’t do it in stages, just one player, and it was Trout. Mantle was the live series collection. So I don’t think we will be seeing either. But you never know what they will do.

99 MVP Ohtani

It’s gotta be someone juicy considering Brett was/is so expensive to get and this will be Brett + at least 1mil considering Jackie will be one of the vouchers.
