Legend players that don’t have a 99

Mike Piazza’s best card is a 90.

WTH?

Are there others? It’s gotta be a short list.

I would say Piazza gets a captain card on this program but already does I think

Never mind that captain card was last year

Eddie Matthews has a 99 card.

Also Lefty Grove is not in the game I believe.

Yeah, Longoria is not a legend. He still has a free agent live series as I don't believe he has officially retired.

Just announced 99 Brock and 99 Hilton Smith captains

Is there a single buster posey card? He is my favorite all time player.

He's not in the game.

Usually takes a few years (3-5) maybe before retired players get added back in, assuming they can agree to a rights deal. Posey last played in 2021 so he just hit the 3 year mark.

Still there is no guarantee that any given player will be added. He has the added drawback in that he was never a Yankee, which will increase a players odds quite a bit.

@JROutlaw43 he's either gonna be in MLB 25 or 26

It sucks to see great pitchers like Ron Guidry and Jim Palmer only receive a 96 and 98 respectively, when many current players that are normally bronze level have 99 cards through Topps now, PS, and POTM. Why purchase their name and likeness to only use them that way? Makes no sense.

I have not played in quite a while but I may try and get the Brock card, even that I will probably almost never use him due to me pretty much being done with the game this year.

I do kind of find it interesting that Brock is boosting Action Figure cards when neither this card or any of his others were actually part of that series.
