Also let’s not forget we get that Craig Biggio card too.

Well deserved but the Yankees fans are already complaining hard and trying to make it seem like Austin was totally undeserving..
I can see why, they are really lacking in good flashback cards for their team.
Anyone who understands how this game works should have easily known it wouldn't be Judge. Even as a Yankee fan myself, the guy has a 94 LS and a 97 AS card. Plus Riley has far and away the better numbers anyway.
I've never understood why fans have such a hard time being objective (this goes for most, if not all, teams)
The only other person I could have seen was Dylan Cease only because we haven’t gotten a lightning pitcher yet. But I’m ok with Riley, hopefully he has some OF it 1B eligibility
I'd be shocked if he isn't a 97 in the program (or whatever the high diamond ones are). Dude missed out on an ASG card and didn't get anything last month.

They’ve always got last years Finest card they can throw out as a henchman/event reward/whatever.

I wish they would actually bypass Carpenter this month and give us a sweet flashback of his 99 overall POTM from July 2018 card

I love my work schedule, but these new programs always start when I'm at work!
I'll be starting at least 9 hours later than most of you.
Vacation is looming, so I hope to be there at the start of these for a change. -

Vacation is looming, so I hope to be there at the start of these for a change.I am sure you will still pass many of us up soon enough. I do everything I can to try and not burn out while playing so today I will probably just concentrate on moments, both the last of the Topps Now and the POTM and save the Shark Map for tomorrow.

To me there was no doubt that it would be Riley an I think it couldn't have been easier for SDS to do Austin.
Going to be a good time today with the Shark Map, Monthly Awards, Double XP. Market about to be in shambles.
Love it
Need that sweet sweet 2x xp to help me push to the finish. Need about 400k more to finish the program.
I’m right there with you man….think I wrapped up at 620 last night and just wondered how much of a late punch I could really make….400 seems like a lot in the last few days, so I’ll likely just see if I can make the out of control packs just to get my 3 gold free agents again!!

I am a Yankee fan and I didn’t need another Judge card.
I also agree with your statement about fans being objective. -
Austin Riley will have dead Red,breaking ball hitter,first pitch hitter,unfazed,situational hitter and daytime quirks. 🤯
So he will have an advantage early in the count and late in the count in any situation with any pitch. That’s insane to think about. So even if his stats are 115 contact for example it’ll be more like 125 at all times. Crazy -
Does anyone know what time the new content will drop? I know the schedule just said “Wednesday Afternoon” the last time I checked.

Their updates and content drops are usually always at 3PM (ET).

Well deserved but they need to somehow set his card apart from others. He's not going to replace Brett for me.....Big Hurt card sucks for me, I like Papi at 1B, and my OF I have J Rod, Stanton, Cutch, I mean SO many cards to choose from that play well.....I just don't see how Riley is going to replace any of them unless they give him some really crazy quirks or something.

I also agree with your statement about fans being objective.Nothing new though. Whenever someone complains about a players overall being to low I sometimes look at the attributes and stats and try to give an objective opinion. Most people complaining don't want an objective opinion.
The other day on reddit somebody asked about what pitchers were having good months. I looked up the top 5 pitchers based on WAR and listed them. Even though I said that it was based on WAR fans of Dylan Cease were not happy with me. (he finished tied for 21st).
Interesting to note that they Cardinals new pitcher Quintana had the same WAR, so I guess nice pickup Cardinals.

Those child-bearing hips and thicc dumper, God I can't wait to use this card.

Nothing says sweet success like that 400 stub quick sell FA.
Between the Shark Map, new mini season, and needing to finish off a few of the team/stat missions I think capping will be do-able. Might require a bit of extra grinding but Its not the end of the world to come up short.

GF had to work Saturday so did manage to run through the MA program and 1 mini season. Just hit the 1mm mark and now done till the next program.
I take back what I said about the BOOC packs…got tatis + 2x goldy (which were at the 1mm packs).
Pushed the stub count to 1mm so now debating if I get the misc cards for cutch. Not immediately pressed to get him, but expecting I’ll eventually get all cards anyways so why not do it now…..
