Starting to think SDS...

... Are all Phillies fans or something. Matt Olson hit his 300th HR early this season, and nothing. Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 200th yesterday, becoming the fastest player in MLB history to reach 200 HR and 200 steals. Complete silence. Not even supercharged.

I will admit that sometimes they let stuff slip by them. Sometimes there are other factors and sometimes fans expect too many
If I remember correctly Olson literally hit that HR on May 5th. Like the same day or the day before he got a spotlight card. His 300 HR card would have literally been the same OVR as his spotlight card.
The Acuna milestone is nice, and I have no doubt that we will get a 99 Acuna at some point but 200 HRs is too common of a milestone. They could roll out his 40/70 milestone card again. Maybe they plan to make him the September retro Spotlight
Current players HRs
Willy Adames - 201
Trea Turner - 203 ( and 100 more stolen bases)
Carlos Correa - 203
Trevor Story - 207
Yordan Alvarez - 207
Xander Bogarts - 208
Matt Chapman - 210
Josh Bell - 210
(Shocked to see Randal Grichuk at 223)Coming up on 200
Rhys Hoskins - 199
Willson Contreras - 198
Christian Walker - 198
Ian Happ - 196
Javier Baez - 195
Byron Buxton - 193
Michael Conforto - 192
Ketel Marte - 192 -
The Brewers Gary Sanchez just reached 200 home runs also.

@FokkenXCross_NSW I’m not sure if they would be Phillies fans, seeing as they are in San Diego, but as a Braves fan myself, I have noticed Atlanta seems to be the most overlooked/bypassed team in the game for card marketplace events.

SDS has frequently missed important real baseball developments, but this year their lack of attention to it seems to be at an all time high. For me, the wholesale lack of focus on the three players inducted into the Hall of Fame is the single worst omission.

Atlanta has the 8th most legend and flashback cards this year.
They have the 5th most unique legend and flashback cards. 4 more unique player cards than Philly (Bryce Harper has 4 extra cards, Schwarber has 3)Compare that to Tampa who leads the AL East. They are dead last in Legends and Flashbacks.

What were you expecting? Was it significantly different than last year?

Randal Grichuk
Yes, 2009 Amateur Draft, Angels had back to back 1st RDP at 24th and 25th. With pick 24 they selected Randal Grichuk....With pick 25 they selected Mike Trout.
Obviously the second picked worked out far better, but thats a lot of HR's from 2 picks like that.

I actually was a fan of Grichuk when he was with the Cardinals. I was just surprised to see him on the list.

The most, perhaps.

@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN I'm really interested to hear how someone in Russia became a Braves fan. I find stuff like that so interesting. I grew up in a rural part of the US not near any MLB teams, but we got TBS. That's how I became a Braves fan when I was a kid.
-
@FokkenXCross_NSW Well, I was born and raised in Atlanta. I moved to Russia in 2004, but never stopped following baseball.

Why'd you move to Russia? 2-3 years Dagestan?
-
I got a job with Aeroflot as a First Officer. I’m now a captain on the Boeing 777. No I don’t live in Dagestan. I’m about 40 minutes north-west of Moscow. And Go Braves Go, just finished watching Chris Sale get another win against the Phillies.
