@Dolenz_PSN what kind of hitting stats do you think they'll give Wainwright?

Unless these guys get postseason and flashback cards, this is just a weird content drop and an even weirder choice by SDS. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of interesting, fun names, but late September is odd for some of these guys.
It is a little weird, but they did something similar with the "HRD-X" series in 2022 and I actually liked some of those cards. @SaveFarris_PSN can check me on the timeframe.
At this point in the cycle, I'll take anything "new" that I can get.
Edit: Just saw that @SakAttack87_PSN already stated this... I should read from top to bottom before I post

Zobrist is going to be the collection reward, isn't he?

I have no idea.
He is a 99 and a DH so there is really no reason to hold back any hitting stats for fielding considerations.
When the Cards team faced the Cubs team he put up the most points (more than Ankiel or Zobrist or Arrieta).
Wainwright led off for the Cardinals, putting up a remarkable 21 points on 13 home runs to stake the Cardinals to an early lead

Or a Showdown exclusive

Not complaining at all because having this many new names dropped into the game this late into the season is pretty crazy, but just wish we could've gotten Jose Reyes and the Toddfather as well for this program since they're both involved with the HRDX this year.
Have to assume with this many new Legends and cards overall, there is going to be a separate collection for this series. Curious who the final program reward would be if they go that route.

There is an easy way to determine this: look for switch hitters. Welcome to MLB: The Switch Hitters
Zobrist and Reyes will be the rare insert and collection rewards if they are included

Showdown reward

The card art makes me think these guys are all Mets at a quick glance
-
Michael Cuddyer should be in a Twins uniform not the Mets
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL It's the team he's representing at the HRDX.

That's not how it works. He competed in the HRD X competition as a Met so he is a Met. I doubt SDS can even give him a Twins card based on the HRD X rights
-
Zobrist and Cain are the collection rewards.
-
So that would leave for the pack. Right?
Nick Swisher
Adrian Gomez
Johnny Gomes
Jeff Francour
Hunter Pence
Ryan Klesko
Ian Desmond
Josh Reddick
Ryan Zimmerman
Rick Ankiel -
I haven't seen anything yet for who's in the pack

They have told us who is
Part of The Program
The Showdown Reward
The Collection RewardsThat combined with the names released in the video yesterday gives us a very good idea unless there are rewards in another game mode.

OMG... Gordo will be my new LF. these aren't by chance Captain cards?
-
This is a great thing overall
I cant help but be a little disappointed in the pack though. Since this is a choice pack they likely wont be adding this to the deluxe pack for a while, if ever (I know Prime is there, but signature is not unless its been added recently)
Given this is the only card a lot of these players will receive it would be nice to have a better farmable option
I was hoping they would have given a repeatable conquest for this, but eh, might as well try to make a little extra at the end of the year and i can't fault them for that. While getting the rights for these was probably free, there was still effort getting them into the game.

J-Don voucher for this Collection?

Unfortunately no, I wish it was though
