If you think this year's Braves love is a bit much, I have a sneaking suspicion you're going to hate next year's version...

Face it, if you're not a Cardinals, Braves, Yankees, or possibly Dodgers fan you get the minimum of effort. You've got teams that have been around for 50 or 60 years with 3 or 4 flashbacks and none on the market.
You've got the Tigers, who have been around as long if not longer than anyone and they've got 1 (2 if you counting Kaline) usable card in the entire game.
Uhhh...Hal Newhouser & Miggy are top tier lineup staples at the moment...

MVP Harper, Cy Young Scherzer, Flashback Strasburg, etc. There’s plenty of great Nats cards to choose from. Its [censored] that none of these have come out. They should have made a 99 CY Young Scherzer the best in the game instead of [censored] Corey Kluber.
I understand where you are coming from but Kluber’s Cy Young season is just as good as any of Scherzer’s. Kluber is just a PITA to face is why you feel this way

Who is it going to be? Kimbrel? Heyward?
Gotta be Maddux right?
Cant be Maddux if it's a flashback. Flashbacks are for current players in previous seasons, right?

I would love to see Hank in this game! I have no problem with the Braves or their history, but the release of cards could be way more balanced throughout the league.

yeah, I forgot about Hal and Cobb. My bad. My point still stands. The Tigers should have as many flashbacks as anyone. Especially this year with no usable live series cards.

Kluber used to be untouchable but he looked terrible on the mound last year. All I can remember is him getting drilled in the arm by a line drive to end his season. And this is the best pitcher in the game. Brutal...

It's a flashback card...not sure how you missed that part? Has nothing to do with 2019.

Just a bad look to put a flashback card as the best in the game when he looked like dog [censored] the last time we saw him pitch. Meanwhile we got Mad Max chugging beers and winning rings last year and he can't even get a specialty card. Show that man some [censored] respect!

I definitely won't argue that mad Max isn't a badass. That man definitely has some respek on his name. I'd say Kluber deserves some slack, Indian fan bias aside, the guy's control was absolute dog [censored] in the spring - yes - but the man suffered a straight fracture from a line drive and never got the chance to right the ship LOL He literally only pitched a month. Whose to say he wouldn't have had a decent year you know?

That's fair. Kluber was a stud prior to last year. This is more of a pro-Scherzer than anti-Kluber rant. Haha. He probably would have turned it around knowing him.
-
if Scherzer got the 99 everyone would be sick of him coming in from the pen too. Wouldn't really matter.
-
Scherzer's live card is nasty. Still in my rotation even after all these other cards came out.

3rd Inning Program and the Tigers have had 5 cards released outside of prospects, FoTF, and collection reward.
98 Hal Newhouser 98 OVR one of top SP in game
94 Miggy Headliner BEAST
91 Ty Cobb is very usable just not his 99 card yet
86 Kaline was a tribute and he will get another 90+ later
84 Trammel Vet henchman is actually decent, also will get 90+ card eventuallyTigers will get a 90+ Jack Morris.
Casey Mize is a nice 90 SP card has good stuff.

I'm running out of room on my Braves Lineup. LOL Wasn't gonna go for Chipper cause I wasn't sure if they'd put SS on his Secondary. No interest in Dale even though I love that Card cause of Acuna and Pache Prospect. Won't ever get the Glavine and Smoltz BR cause i don't play BR and Don't want to shell out those stubs. Gimme my Catcher though. McCann SS, love to see a Javy Lopez, but he's no "Legend". Heck, I'd even take that Torre from last year.
-
Can’t complain as a tigers fan I’m content outside of the trash team affinity program. The braves are one of my favorite teams outside of the tigers, chipper is one of my favorite all time players but some other teams deserve more love. A 95 jayson heyward card now? It’s getting ridiculous sds.
-
I'm just saying there are teams out there that don't have a legend or flashback on the market, teams with a half century or more of history.
-
I was amazed at looking at the Yankees the other day and their 21 flashback or legends cards already. Some have 5, which is almost the bare minimum when you consider there are 3 in the affinity program and 1 for the team collection. I know, history proves that the Yankees should have more. It just seems out of weight, a bit.
I mean, did we really need a flashback Jason Heyward?
