Is Josh Gibson not a collection reward this yr
We don’t know yet, they won’t announce any of those till the game is launched.
Also, the more I read about this. I don’t think this is in DD. It looks like a separate game mode.
As long as these cards are still available to be used in DD that's fine by me.

My friend said the head of the museum sent out a tweet showing he was a collection, but i dont know i dont have twitter and dont know how to post the pic he sent me

Gonna need you to find out how real quick.

Don't think this is real, but this is probably what that other poster above me was alluding to. It would be awesome.

Yup that was the one, real or not real
-
Ima say real. there is too much detail on the cards and they look professionally done.
If its fake, the ones who did put WAY more effort into it than i have ever seen before.
In any event ,we ll find out for sure on thursday. -

Looks fake to me. The 99 diamond thing is off.

I’m sure it’s no different than any other legend. Probly have to negotiate rights with the family?

Yes, it would … but putting out every Elite NL star would destroy the season-element (if you believe in the blog post, that season 2 is for 2024). SDS surely wants to save some of the big ones for next year … Imo that does not rule out Gibson (or that „one more thing“) for 2023 …
To me, it is probably a collection reward (if not the top one), besides Jeter

This is just Season 1. Next year there will be 8 more players in Season 2, and so on, and so forth. There is a description of how they are doing this and the players for this year on their website,

Yeah it looks like no Gibson this year but this is a nice start.
As to the guy that was talking about Jackie Robinson, he wasn't in the Negro Leagues for as long as majority of the other guys like Gibson, Paige, etc. The fact that he was a great ballplayer and had other intangibles as well as youth on his side is why he was the one handpicked by Branch Rickey to come play for the Dodgers and in the process break the color barrier. Jackie wasn't a scrub or subpar player by any stretch of the imagination, so I feel like his greatness is still warranted... had he just been a token then that would be another conversation but Jackie arrived in Brooklyn and his play backed up his stature as being "the first" and we all know what followed.
It's a shame that the Black community typically gravitates to basketball and football but seeing some of the Black talent in the game today still gives me hope that baseball is a viable athlete avenue for Black boys and girls... I played PAL and Little League and still kick myself for not trying out for my HS team.

Baseball isn't perceived to be as sexy and exciting compared to basketball and football. Shame, but most kids want to be like Kobe or Jerry Rice. Not Tony Gwynn.

Oh trust me I know... the two names that come up the most in this day and age are Ken Griffey Jr and Barry Bonds... me personally I was fortunate enough (despite their off field issues) to be a fan of the Mets during the Gooden/Strawberry years, so maybe I was spoiled when it came to watching Black talent on the field.
I think that's why I was happy with the choice of Jazz and later Jeter as the cover athletes this year.

I wasn't happy with Jazz but that obviously has nothing to do with the color of his skin or the fact that I don't appreciate Black talent in baseball. It's because he hasn't done very much in this league yet and I felt others were way more deserving. But at the end of the day it's just a cover, I don't really care THAT much.

When it comes to Jazz you have to look at the excitement factor. I feel like him getting hurt kinda slowed him down with his momentum... I definitely thought Julio Rodriguez or a second cover for Aaron Judge was going to be the play... kind of had an outside hope that it would be a Mets player once I saw Donovan Mitchell on the stream but once I saw Jazz pop up I saw the vision... dude has charisma jumping out of him and whenever he gets traded or signs elsewhere in free agency we are going to see a megastar in this league if his game continues to translate with a larger sample size.

I hear ya, but I guess that excitement factor just doesn't apply to me when it comes to him. I don't think there's a more exciting player than J-Rod right now, so if you want to market off of that "excitement" factor I think he would've been the guy that everyone could agree is THAT guy.

I think the issue with Julio was that his "height" was probably at Home Run Derby and then he ended up being the runner-up... had he won the Derby he might have been the guy.

Possibly. Personally I think they wanted J-Rod but couldn't get the deal done for one reason or another. Then they settled for Jazz. Pure speculation on my part.

possible. If true its an excellent backup plan given all that they did with the trailer. Him being a player that plays the game didn't hurt either.

I can't believe they don't have Moses Fleetwood Walker.
Again SDS does not know anything baseball. Only graphics.
C'MON.... Yes Josh Gibson is in the game. I seen the card displayed.
It is still not enought to entice me to buy the game or play the game. Just more cards in the equation that won't be useable in later months of playing the show.
