Aaron JudgeThanks Showstorian. It is kind of funny how Topps is releasing weekly baseball cards. God if I were a kid I’d be lucky to land one cardinal in the two packs I was allowed on that gas station trip. They’re attacking adults with nostalgia and those cards are worth as much as 0.01 each in 20 years
-
So far no pack reveal yet.
-
One of the things that has really soured me with the live content team is highlighted above. 5 "possible" cards above should all be released. What is the harm of having the program be 5 cards instead of 3?
-
New Pack:
89 TN Jakob Marsee
89 TN Jeffrey Springs
89 TN Ronny Mauricio
91 SL Angel Martinez
91 SL Willson ContrerasAlways trust content from the Showstorian.
-
That’s cool.
Some good players in there. If Jojo Riley and Walker don’t have a months end card I’d be surprised. Walker at least in the program path, even if he falls off. But to be able to have a useable Riley would be so cool. Sure as [censored] ain’t going to get a Stanek, Bruihl or Svanson
-
Thanks for the list. I see Boston gets another card (good for Contreras) and they apparently gave the Yankees another in order to keep pace (3rd card for Stanton). They now have at least 10 more cards than 19 other teams and over three times more than the Rangers.
They really need to come up with some program concepts to get more worthwhile cards to under-represented teams. Cardinals have the 7th lowest total and if it wasn't for Jordan Walker having a chance at appearing in the Monthly program then I would have no reason to play at all.
And with Microsoft Flight Sim getting PSVR 2 support next week all bets are off on which title I spend my time on.

@SaveFarris_PSN What’s the best way to track who gets a topps card?

They definitely need to spread their wings a little more when it comes to represented teams but once again - I think they’re only following Topp’s orders on card releases. Someone scoffed at me weeks back on that.
So we now know they don’t have testers or graphics artists. What SDS does in their day jobs I’ll never know. Besides count money.
How’s Crimson Desert? Still haven’t downloaded. Leaving it for Flight sim?

Their typical cutoff for Friday releases is Wednesday nights. So for this week, any cards issued from 4/9 to 4/15.
