April Spotlight Drop 5 Reveal
-
@Dolenz_PSN Yordan or Soriano
-
Soriano lightning, Alvarez chase is my guess
Only one reliever is just absurd.
-
Who does this leave for lightning? Yordan Alvarez?
Jose Soriano!
-
All of these cards make sense. Stoked to get Walker - not a huge deal he’s in a pack, I’d guess we get a free pack in the program.
I could be wrong but I believe the retro lightning collection said 11 cards prior to today’s update so I’m guessing the pack will make it easier to get the retro lightning.
Unless it’s tiered and there’s collections inside of it - IE 11 cards will get you the first guy. Similar to how they’ve done cityscapes etc.

@Teak2112_MLBTS man and there probably all gonna be required for retro lighting this is a money GRABBB.
-
Here is the Comparison to last year
April 25 Program - 4 Spotlight and 2 Topps Now
April 26 Program - 6 Spotlight and 2 Topps NowApril 25 Pack - 5 Spotlight and 4 Topps Now
April 26 Pack - 10 SpotlightSo 5 more Spotlight Cards and 4 less Topps Now this year

I am going to wait to lay down a verdict on this until it's released but my gut tells me I will be back and not happy when I post about this again in a few hours but I hope I am wrong.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Have they ever done a spotlight chase card?
-
@Dolenz_PSN I agree, but Yordan's in the same boat as well with an 88 LS Card that should get boosted in a few days. Either way you go, you're going to have a Lightning Player with a similar OVR to their LS card.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Have they ever done a spotlight chase card?
No, but they hadnt done weekly chase packs until last year either...
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Definitely wouldn’t surprise me. Don’t give them any ideas.

I am surprised at no Shugart card. Winning pitcher in both game of a double header, something that hasn't been done in 30 years or more, for a guy not very likely to get a flashback card in the game, exactly what these card series are supposed to represent. didn't even need to be a good card,they could of slapped an 85 in it or he'll even a gold card of it.

As far as I could see he did not get a Topps Now card issued by Topps and the Spotlight cards are more for the entirety of the month.
Cool achievement though.

@Dolenz_PSN this is a cheap cheap move so we are gonna need all of these for retro? If so money grab at it’s finest.
It's all a money grab. Every collection is the same thing. Only get a few cards by playing and everything else ridiculous pack luck (better chance of walking out the door getting struck by lightning on a sunny day) or buy the players.
Best cards every Friday is a chase pack which seems like .00001% chance to pull unless you're a streamer/partner.
-
Soriano seems like the most likely I am guessing. Don't think we'd get another Yordan, but I wouldn't mind if we did. I am still using his live series card and it mashes, and since there is no way I am getting this new card today I'd love for it to be Yordan since I wouldn't really need it anyway.

Which is also weird cause that's the kinda thing they go for in topps now, not a big deal though he only pitched a third of an inning in game 1 and an inning in game 2 so not very special performance wise just a historical thing
-
10 spotlight cards in a pack is wild.
And why only one RP in the entire drop.
-
@virusts_PSN I’m just hoping all aren’t needed for retro…
-
I really hope that Ben Rice card has catcher secondary.
-
They are definitely gonna find a way to let us down today. They're gonna make it some kind of money Grab some kind of you have to buy these cards off the market. Ridiculous type of thing. And by the time we get them, we're not even gonna want them anymore.
