Where's the hype for Set 3?

@Pergo_MLBTS said in Where's the hype for Set 3?:
It continues to be so odd to me how caught up people get on the overall rating. Whether a card is a 97 or 99 is completely meaningless to me. There are some 97s that are great and some 99s that suck and vice versa. I'm much more interested in seeing the underlying ratings than the overall and seeing how cards play once I get my hands on them.
I don’t get it either. It seems like people are so hung up on 99s only being in packs. Anything 96+ can be as good as some 99s especially when you parallel them.
Yeah the rewards aren’t great but if you’re really that obsessed with having 99s or the best possible lineup then sell every player you pull out of the choice packs they give out. They aren’t usually that expensive but if you sell them all, it adds up. I feel like the people complaining about not being able to afford cards aren’t selling everything they can. I haven’t spent a dime on stubs and have plenty of stubs to buy any card I want… just not every single card.

Couldn’t agree more with this if I’d said it meself!

FYI, They are posting more stuff on Threads. There is a collection for TA 3 that rewards 5 99's. There are also two captain cards.

For this not on threads yet MLB is and they are telling some interesting things

Here's where I see the issue about the complaints of the best cards being behind a paywall. In years past there were several times players were being sold for $1M in the market. Some years there were long lines and other years you could get them fairly quickly.....but you had the ability to make WAY MORE STUBS just by playing compared to now. Now you barely get squat for anything you do. Mantle is the most desired card to date and is still over $400K. Sounds like nothing compared to $1M but when you grind your mind away with these TA programs and get little to show for your time invested, there's where the gripe comes from. My opinion anyway.

This is so true but good luck trying to convince the masses.

They just posted a 99 Domingo Germán Topps now card. That’s a good start. The card art could’ve been a lot better though imo
-
We get a pretty easy grindable 99 in the Topps Now Program
-
the 99s are coming
-
Since some were asking if June POTM would be set 2 or 3 this confirms it's 3 (as expected).

Oh sweet mother of mercy NO!!@ I saw that dude on the left oh jeez that’s the dude that hit four doubles against the Blue Jays the other night if that’s a moment then I’m jumping off the….I’m going to shoot…I’ll go running around my yard with scissors! 🤮

Sorry I panicked there. Dunno what I was thinking they’d never make a perfect game moment for 9 innings so surely there wouldn’t be a 4 double moment that’s just silly. Right?

Generally, that will be a 6 TB moment.

Oh much better. I’m just a noob.
Noob Saibot! Toasty

So I would not be at all surprised for TA3 to mainly be flashbacks and legends with current All Stars mainly coming in choice packs starting tomorrow. Likely using the typical 97 Base/99 Rare structure we have seen all year. They have always done ASG and HRD packs and are releasing even more packs than normal this year.

I am thinking a 2 XBH moment.

as has been posted more than once, there will be 5 99 diamonds as a TA 3 collection, as well as two captain cards.

That doesn’t tell us what all the rest will be though. Both TAs have had 90 Diamond player rewards. So far we know of 6.

Hopefully you are right with your prediction that it might be Teddy, Cobb and Hornsby

Hype? This game stinks and no one plays it.
