How well do you know your 2025 DD card sources? Quiz time...
-
Actually, I looked at the original post and started doing calculations in my head.
A fun bonus question: How many player cards were never able to be earned or purchased (and name them).

never able to be earned or purchased
Hmmm... I know some that can't be purchased, but can't "earn" them? I'll have to think about that.

That baffled me but as I was getting ready to say that it did not make sense but then I think it dawned on me.
Are we talking about cards that were gifted to us? For example the Judge card we just got can not be earned or purchased, right?
I know there have been a couple of those. Now my earlier message said there were 42 cards that had no entry in the location field so maybe it's some of those? But I don't believe it is that many.

What are the current "dead" cards that will never be available again?
Ted Williams
the two holiday FinestI assume there are more
The WC cards will eventually be effectively dead as well, but technically possible for people to sell. Dominguez is the only short term risk though

Can't be Earned OR can't be Purchased...
or...
Can't be Earned AND can't be Purchased?
For example, you can't purchase Cornerstones, but can earn them. I'm guessing it's the 2nd option...

Since it looks like no one is willing to venture a guess, here's what I have for answers. @dolenz_psn @savefarris_psn , let me know where we differ...
- How many cards were earnable by playing "Showdown"? I'm sorry if this triggers bad memories from the Spring... 12
- How many cards were available solely by "Collections"? Every single collection... 202 (I was surprised it was this many)
- How many cards were available by "Exchanges"? 2
- How many cards were in the Battle Royale program? 25
- How many cards were available in the Multiplayer program? 64
- How many Spotlight cards are in the game? All of them... earnable and in packs. 146
- How many Diamond Quest cards? Of those, how many were NOT available in the market (earnable only)? 28/4
- How many cards were earnable by "Missions"? Think "Mini-Seasons". 38
- How many cards were earnable by playing Conquest maps? 18
- How many Cornerstone cards are there? 30
-
I wasn't going to be able to answer most of them even with my program. The only ones I was confident about were the two questions about Spotlight and Cornerstone cards

Isn't BR 0?

I think there were specific BR rewards. I couldn't get any of them until they showed back up in the Multiplayer program. For example, 98 Mickey Mantle All-Star.

Looks like it’s including CHASE packs, which are late stage BR flawless rewards. I only counted cards that were BR rewards only.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I wish that Locations field was more detailed.
Also, I would like it if they included a Date Added field so that I could run queries on specific timeframes

Forgot about those, my brain was lumping them in with multi-player since they were unobtainable in BR for almost all of us unlike past years

Collections - I've only got 142. Are you counting some Team Affinities?
Yes. The API shows the "vouchers" for All-Star and Finest from TA as "collections". So that's 60... plus your 142 is the 202 I have.
