Lightning cards?
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN yeah that’s my bad I more aless meant other diamonds like 85 plus I should have worded it better.
-
I mean overalls don’t really matter. Just how good the cards play. People get too fixated on if it’s going to be a 93 or 94 etc when the stats are really negligible.

We have no idea what this cityscapes thing is so your guess is as good as mine.
I dread the tall strike zone on the ESB it better have a quick swing to make up for it, though good news is reunion tower sounds like it will be a switch hitter
Space needle will definitely have massive power. -
I've been calling for slower power creep for years, and it only ever gets faster. No hope of that changing.

Be rice will be the lightning player, retro is anyone’s guess

Ben Rice
Why? He has had an excellent month but he is not, or should not be the lock that you think he is. Will he get a card? Probably but it should not be the Lightning.
Yordan Alvarez was
1st in AVG
3rd in HR
Tied for 3rd in RBIS
1st in OBP
1st in wRC+
1st in WARHe beats Rice in every one of those categories
The Yankees have 26 legends and Flashbacks to Houston's 10
The Yankees have 9 cards with an OVR of 90 or above to Houston' s 4If Houston gets robbed of the Lightning card, assuming it is a position player, then it will be a travesty. I don't even really like Houston but it is hard to deny Yordan's month.

@Dolenz_PSN Not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but didn’t he get a lightning card last year?

No he got a lightning in 2022 which they recycled and reissued in The Show Classics series in 2024.
In 2025 he had a

85 - Live Series
92 - All-Star
99 - (Awards and Ranked 1000) -
Alvarez may be the most deserving player, but Alonso was the most deserving player last year and didnt get it.
The dark horse here is Olson, who leads the league in 2B and TB, is second to McGonigle in position player bWar, hasnt had a big card that I can remember in a while, and he is the most likely of the others (Rice, Alvarez) to fall off.

@Dolenz_PSN Yordan isn’t 1st in average or WAR I don’t know where you got that from but it’s wrong.

Your right. My mistake.
I was looking at the whole season so far and not just April. Since we did not get a Lightning card for the 2 weeks in March who knows whether SDS will use those two weeks or just pretend that they did not matter

@Dolenz_PSN All these years are just blending together for me.
