Retro finest cards

Seems like Gary Carters finest year should have been with the Expos/Nationals but oh well. Hopefully they suped up his hits against righties otherwise no one will use it again

I knew any eventual Goldschmidt card would be a Diamondback. At this point I am wondering if Cardinal Fans will ever see an MVP version before he retires.
Goldy's got twice as much career WAR as a DBack (39.9) than as a Bird (22.6).
The New Threads card was what took the place of a 'Gold Card'.
I never said that he should not have been a Diamondback card. In fact, I have been saying all along that he would get a Diamondback retro card and that the Diamondbacks need the cards.
That is different than me wondering if he will ever get his MVP card, which would be a Cardinal.
There are only two MVPs and two Cy Youngs each year. I am not sure why they don't release those for cards at least once in the following year.

Fine with all but the Justin Turner card. If they were going to add a second Dodger, add Duke Snider.
Also, interested to see if the Andrew Miller card has a circle change like his previous card.

2022 was the first year they added a year to the current year finest cards so the 2021 total is all of the finest, both current and retro
Finest
2021: 74
2022: 124
2023: 72
2024: 60
2025: 14 (That is counting the 5 released today)The year Specific cards for players of that current season
2022 Finest: 45
2023 Finest: 118
2024 Finest: 41
2025 Finest: 75 -

Offensively this is where they rank based on my offensive formula
#5 Sheffield
#16 Goldschmidt
#23 Turner
#43 Carter -
It was fun using a few Retro Finest that I never used or had only a few AB's with.
Never used Kipnis, but went 1-3 with a homer in 2 Sunset Conquest games.
Got Bautista late. He homered at PNC, and I got him to P3.
Joc Peterson homered as well.
Cutch was at P3 and did well, even flying out to himself at PNC!
When I unlocked Goldy, he homered off Sasaki at Dodger Stadium. It was glorious, but on a FB, not the Splitter.
On the flip side, Turner & Carter have been terrible! -
I wonder if they should have expanded the Retro Finest collection to put a end game Griffey and maybe Brock in with the voucher.

What voucher?

@DrBear100_PSN
Did you forget about the Spotlight Griffey?
