99 Griffey Jr.
-
Has there been any information on the card or program, other than what the schedule says?
Thanks -
Have to assume that it will be similar to the recent David Ortiz program although I could see them making it a longer grind considering that 99 Griffey is one of the most prized cards every year.
Very curious which series it will be.
-
Assuming Reds related because of FoD. Also probably getting Sr. in the reward path.

I have a gut feeling you will have to trade griffey stuff on one of the missions. Like his bat, shoes, etc. His two player cards perhaps... Just a feeling.

People have said that for every Griffey related card since he was added to the game and it has never happened. It won't this year either

They haven't done that since 2018, not gonna happen.

Here is how the program plays out I think
Momements - for both Sr and JR
Pxp mission for all the teams the two played for
Pxp mission for the 3 cards in the reward path 2 JR cards and 1 SR
Conquest map
2 exchangesFinal reward 1997 retro finest Ken Griffey Jr

And the reward path will be 99 points so Ramone can say Grind 99, 37 times.

He's got 99 problems, but coming up with a new catch phrase ain't one.

I think you are right except that it will be a Takashi card instead of a retro finest. Griffey Jr. cards don't need retro finest juice to be some of the best in the game. A retro finest would be the best card in the history of the show

Takashi would be cool for sure as the Mariners card. I'd love that.
Feel like the timing with FOD makes me want to say its going to be a 500 HR milestone card.

Yeah after last night, I'm definitely thinking Sr. Is involved (I think that fairly obvious) and that one of the cards will be a Reds card. His card last year was a Milestone card so I agree it'll be a Takashi or a Retro Finest.

Yeah now that you mention it Takashi makes more sense and there doesn't really seem to be any rules with those cards so you can juice the card however they want.

It seems odd to me that Griffey's 99 this year will likely be a Reds card since his 99 last year was also on the Reds.
Everyone knows that his best years were all with the Mariners.
Yeah I think it's a Mariners card this year for sure, he will get a Reds card in the reward path I think.

I mean, it happened in 2017. But it was the first real year they had programs and missions (16s dabbling don’t really count) and they were still trying things out, some of which I kind of hope they revisit (having to collect everyone Roy Oswalt was traded for was genius).

True, but I tend to not count 16 and 17s content into what we have now because as you said they were just testing things out. The current formula pretty much starts with 19. Themed equipment collections stopped after 18 and the free to play POTM started in 20. The griffey program in 17 was pretty outrageous regardless because of the online requirements

It’s a 2nd half Griffey
