Spooky variants
-
It's all a bit confusing.
I exchanged some Topps Now (which is odd in itself as they've locked to collections) for a voucher.
It says:1:1000 for Randy Johnson
1:12 for Carlos Santana and Jorge Polanco
1:1 for Negative Variant VouchersSo, from what I gather you have a 1:12 chance of getting a positive variant, otherwise you get a worse version.
I opened two and got a Gary Sheffield and a Clay Buchholz.
Both have worse attributes than the spooky one so obviously I won't use either (EDIT: It could be because I have parallels on the originals).I'll just sell the two i have, and put it down as a very odd, thoughtless piece of content (or worse, an attempt to get people to give up valuable cards not understanding it blows).
In short, you give up cards for a 91.66% chance at a "negative variant" of a card you already have.

I like how we get to use the seldom considered in 26 "exchange" sub menu as part of this whole thing.
-
Why cant I exchange those dupes Pipeline guys that were non sellable from the get go?
-
@DEF266_PSN greed
-
Weirdly, it appears the Topps Now cards i exchanged (which were no sell and locked to collections) still appear in my collection.
Perhaps you don't lose the cards you exchange, just you can only exchange them once.
I'm not going to test the theory with a 200k card, but if anyone is brave enough, let us know.
If that is the case, then it's not nearly as bad.

If I’m reading the card stats right, These are purely cosmetic changes so not worth doing if that’s not your thing. Unless of course they make it a sub-collection for the next big collection reward. I had wished to see more exchanges I get the feeling when I did that a finger on a monkey’s paw curled somewhere.
-
On one hand, I like the idea of cosmetic card changes, but on the other hand with 100s of cards needing stubs there is no chance I would consider this vs quick selling the dupes.
Hopefully they put some of those voucher packs in other content

Finally getting to use those Deluxe and Premier packs I've been collecting.
-
So this ends up as a program where you can earn the cards either through a program or just buying them as a different variant. Tricky but cool.

Maybe i'm factoring in parallels but on my screen they're slightly worse versions.
They do call them "negative variants". -
Wonder if it is parallels. I looked at Sosa and Wood in my inventory. I haven’t used either card in my lineup yet and all the attributes looked the same to me.
-
And fwiw the dd home screen says “variant card art” and doesn’t mention attribute differences
-
Can anybody see.the market through the app, mine says down for updates.
-
@DrBear100_PSN Still down for updates for me too. 90 minutes after the update is crazy.
-
I bought 5 different variants from marketplace my stubs was taken but none of my variants are in my inventory.

I can not for the life of me find the vouchers I have the players..... yet another broken thing from SDS this year
-
So even if you buy the alternate version of the card technically you’d still have to have the base version to complete the collection?
-
I have all base versions except Johnson

Yeah, I edited my reply to mention that.
That must be it.The fact i saw different and the packs call them "negative variants" threw me.

They must have been smoking crack while they were spitballing this
