Finders Keepers #4

99 overall RF is Finders Keepers #5? Al Kaline, first ballot HoFer, finally getting his due!
Oh, it's Tim Salmon. That guy who played for the Angels and was mostly irrelevant otherwise.
Yay.

As a lefty first baseman myself irl, even I disapprove of a Keith card🤪
I was a Lefty 1b in real life, too

Why? He will have very good contacts for sure and power over 100. That makes him a very good card, at least for some theme teams
I've always struggled with Keith's cards. I remember several Moments where you had to get XBH's (or maybe HR's) and they were nearly impossible for me.
-
I think a lot of people have struggled with Hernandez.

Keith Hernandez is always one of the worst cards for me.
Even if they max this guy out, I still won't be able to hit with him.Tim Salmon is kind of interesting though. I recall liking his snapshot series card.

These are just collection fodder.

But what do you expect? Another better Mays?
Keith Hernandez and Tim Salmon don't shout "Come back and spend your Stubs", at least to me.
What could we expect? Well for Example
Lou Gehrig has 3 cards and his 99 was a Charisma Card from Set 1
Babe Ruth's 99 is a Set 1 collection reward, and while it would be hard to give a better card than that it would be nice to have a 99 version that I could buy on the marketplace. His best purchasable card is a 97
Call me old fashioned but I would have less issues with Hall Of Fame legends getting multiple 99's before a guy like Schwarber.
Ok, I am with you with Gehrig (who is not that great), but Ruth? What else should he have besides a Pitcher secondary? The same as a buyable would be weak af…
To me it has nothing to do with old-school … The fired up everything they had. We had 99 Ruth in April, 99 Mantle in May and two 99 Griffeys until summer.If they published another one of those, that would be worse than not bringing out anything (imo at least).
But, be realistic. They are not earning lots of money on people buying stub in 23. If they have arrows left, they will put them in 24 …

I struggle with everyone
… I will only use him if I do a Mets theme team again (I won‘t because I sold off Nimmo :)) … but I am not raging over him. I think he is „nice“ -
okay, Keith has 89-80 Power but max-out Contacts … He is worthess besides a Mets theme team
-
I am hoping future Finders Keepers card is a Lefty Grove. I love his cards and for some reason pitch really well with him. It would be a shame to not have single 99 card of his when we have players with 3 different 99s
-
If you don't like Keith Hernandez stay far away from me.
-
Is the Hernandez card guaranteed?
I 'met' him at a Mets Clubhouse shop 15 or more years ago. He's great on TV with Gary and Ron, and was a defensive general on the field, for those who don't know.

Yes. If you buy the packs in the Show Shop; you're guaranteed each player, from their pack, but they're non-sellable.
-
I can understand non-sellable but if you can only buy one pack, that would mean you would only have one card. If they are non-sellable, how are there Buy Now options at $106,000 for Tim Salmon?

Nvm. I didn’t realize they were also available in the Show Pack.

You'd be surprised how many of us don't do collections so we don't have any of the big collection rewards. I even said it would be near impossible to give him a better 99 and honestly his collection reward card should be the best.
But they could give him a -5 to all of his batting stats and it would still be a great 99 card for those of us who did not finish the collection. His 97 card is also not purchasable and is a pitcher card so the hitting stats are not the greatest on it. The only diamond RF Babe Ruth you can buy off the market is his 95 overall Old Timers captain card which has sub 100 contact and power VS lefties and 73 vision.
I don't expect it. I don't feel entitled to it but was simply stating what type of cards would entice me to buy the Finders Keepers packs. Your mileage my vary.
-
I want to say some of the Finders Keepers cards were sellable until the later packs... because I got every pack except for the Wade Boggs pack, I think they caught me on a down week where I didn't sell off enough of my sellable inventory and/or didn't have enough to get enough stubs to get me enough stubs to buy the pack.
-
Finders Keepers were sellable if you pulled them from a Regular Show pack. It was NOT sellable if you pulled it from the Finders Keepers pack itself.
