The Last Collection
-
I want to get some thoughts from you all on what will be needed for the last L&F Collections. I think I am in a pretty good spot but still some work left to do.
Question #1: Do you all think both Awards and Milestone will be required or do you all think one could be skipped. If I had to guess Awards would be the one to skip because of the shear number of chase cards that arr in that collection.
Question #2: Contributor Ruth do you all think that will be required? That could be a monumental choke point for a lot of players.
Question #3: Actually it's not a question, I hope they play really nice and not include the big 3 ultra impossible rare cards. They wouldn't do that to us?????
Question #4: Do you all think we will need the Red Cholowsky Draft Card? I hope not, that would be dirty too but not as dirty if they do by the sllimest chance of including the big 3 but none the less still dirty.
Question #5: The Subway Series will that be a collection that we need? Including Posada? Or once again because he's a chase card they will exclude him or not even include the series?

I’m not rly sure as I’ve givin up on playing but I believe u wont have much wiggle room as it’s supposed to be a very rare collection.
-
I would guess they wont make you have red Cholowski or any of the super rare leaderboard reward cards (99 Babe and Rollins). Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. Everyone always says "you'll probably need every card!" and Ive never seen that be true - people exaggerate, lol
-
When is the L&F collection? Last I saw it said November, but didn't see an actual date.
As for your questions:
1 - you'll probably be able to skip 1 or 2, and I highly doubt you'll need every card within those collections. You can probably skip 2-3 of the chase cards, I think.
2 - contributor Ruth - you'll probably need. But the WC one, no.
3 - they will not, don't worry
4 - definitely not
5 - Probably a collection, Posada... going to say yes at a 60/40 clip, but it can go either way. -
I would say there is a small chance you need one of the ultra rare cards but not all.
My guess is you will probably need almost all chase and headliner cards.
I fully expect the forever inning to be starting Nov 20, so that will make some cards cheaper if you can wait.

I already have the Awards Trout. I bought him last week when he had a little bit of a dip, because I love Trout cards. I also bought Chili Davis Milestone card because I needed a LF but I think I am going to sell him off since I bought when he was in a dip. I'm really wasn't that impressed with him. I'm using Griffey in LF now and that has been working out really nicely. I bought some other cheaper Milestone cards that I wanted to knock out but other then that I'm waiting for prices to come down. Hopefully a flash sale soon. -
Last collection has to be Chipper, right?

@TrainerMatt21_PSN pitcher forsure. Moneys on Randy.

It's either Chipper or Randy

It’s Sidd Finch for the last collection.

I read some comments from some videos I watched on YouTube this morning saying that Witt will be included because Barry Bonds will be the collection reward. I had to chuckle at those. We have a 100% better chance at pulling Witt from a pack than Bonds being in the game..... watch now, since I'm going to be posting this, this won't age well.......

Posada... going to say yes at a 60/40 clip
I say SDS should 100% include Posada.
Full disclosure: Posada is the only Chase card I pulled this year, so I may be biased...

I wonder how many people here get that reference. It's a great one

I was a subscriber to Sports Illustrated when that article came out, and I fell for it completely.

I don't think I have a single chase card this year except for the thank you pack which i still have in my inventory unopened.

Yes, they need to do something to make Chase and Headliners more obtainable. I have several Headliner cards just because I occasionally grind the HoF miniseason with 2B xp, rinse and repeat, but that is it.

Why not have him as a card? There are so many cards that already are ridiculous for the player’s actual statistics.
There is precedent for it already for a fictional character. If you’ve played long enough, they gave Joe Random a card with all 99s, which was max at the time.

And don’t forget Pepe Alazar and Reggie Stocker -
They are going to have the offseason inning or whatever it’s called soon where all the XP path players will be readily available. I am guessing they will make the ultra rare players attainable somehow over the offseason.
I don’t think it will be hard to do the collection. Especially if you have been keeping up and have Zobrist.
