The chase for... 56? If it's Joe D, I'm gonna have to take out a loan [sigh].

Come on guys, it's obviously not gonna be Chase Utley.
Since you know who it is why not tell us
That's what you got from my statement? I don't know who it is, I just know that the biggest collection of the year (biggest money potential for SDS) won't be locked behind someone unappealing like Chase Utley.

I agree with @the_dragon1912 , Babe makes the most sense. It’s gotta be someone other than Honus otherwise they wouldn’t build up suspense just for it to be the same.
EDIT: DiMaggio might also make sense. They had Mantle to market to Yankees fans, so they wouldn’t have to use him to promote the game.
A horrid thought occurred: 99 Pat Neshek because he is a known collector of baseball cards lmao.

There is only 3 that would be worth it ,
Aaron, Randy Johnson( Chase clue?),or Koufax, but Koufax as a mid reward,not the end.
Oh 4, Babe would be worth it too. -

Captain Jeter would be a really present surprise.
No pop, not fast, average fielder with limited range at SS.... Am I missing something?
He's pretty much Michael Young but wore pinstripes.

No thanks to common defense, I'll stick with Larkin

Given how random the stats are sometimes, Jeter would probably have diamond defense.

Relax, Sarcasm, I know it not going to be Utley, It will be someone that has not been in the game, like it was last year.

I would take Sig Jimmy Foxx
-
I have over 350k in stubs right now. Debating if I should go buy those precious inning golds (Ripken, Jones, Damon, etc)
I've also sold every Prospect card I ever got. Hoping they are not part of this...
Think ill just sit tight and at least have a decent wad of Stubs and apply where needed.

I'd be happy with that. Give him a catcher secondary, though.

Was there an announcement or leak that you mentioned the 28th?
Bottom upcoming schedule: https://news.theshownation.com/articles/july-monthly-awards-program-reward-2017-james-paxton/
Thank you for that. When I see "the chase", I can only think of Sosa/McGwire...
My first thought was Chase field, so Randy Johnson

Shoeless Joe Jackson!

@InigoMontoya_75 said in HONUS COLLECTION:
I didn't play MLB 19... what is this Honus thing? Collect certain cards for the ultimate card in the game?
Yes, that's pretty much what it is. Last year if you collected the cards necessary you would unlock the Honus Wagner card. He played SS and was pretty much the best card in the game. You had to collect a LOT of cards though and it was a grind and it cost a ton of stubs. I did it and don't remember exactly what it cost in stubs but it may have been in the 1-1.5 million or something like that. Looks like they're going to be doing the same thing again this year just don't know what the reward will end up being yet.

Oh 4, Babe would be worth it too.No pitcher, not even Randy or Koufax, is worth over a million stubs. A pitcher will never be a major collection reward. There never has been

Telling you guys now, Derek Jeter is a 0.00% probability. I'm guessing it's Babe Ruth since he only has a single card in the game right now.
-
@the_dragon1912 said in HONUS COLLECTION:
Babe makes the most sense to me. With how popular Jeter is there is no way they would wait this long to reveal him and I have a theory that he will be on the cover when he comes to this game. Mays could work but I don’t think they make him a collection reward again after being the LS collection last year. Honus is again possible. If it is a new legend I see it being Clemente more than anyone
Babe makes no sense at all. SDS never makes a card difficult to acquire two years in a row, Babe was difficult to get last year. He will either be TA 4 or an inning boss this year.

Babe Ruth has 2 cards in the game right now. One with Boston (silver) and one with Atlanta (Bronze)

Doesn't every major league stadium in the game have some placard or something that says "the chase for 56". I'm assuming that alludes to the 56 game hitting streak. And since I'm sure SDS didn't say "let the chase begin" for no reason, maybe it IS Joe DiMaggio!!!
