I personally do not care to have a Jeter card but Hank Aaron would be a reason to want to do the collection.
Now this would break the game. Imagine a Hank Aaron card with 125 power from both sides, 110+ contact from both sides, diamond defense and 85+ speed. Sheeeesh
If it is not a new player I hope it is SS Foxx with secondary as C
-
Here are some New legends I would do the collection for and Jeter is not one of them.
Aaron
DiMaggio
Clemente
Speaker
Ott
Yastrzemski

DiMaggio used to be in the game to me he is not as great of a player to get a collection like this now him being in the game would be a big deal so it would be a big collection. I would think this collection could be the babe or foxx. For not new players and Aaron for new players

So over the last few weeks or so I’ve spent about 350k on some of the players I didn’t have for certain collections (really regret not going in and buying them when the market was basically dead). Who do you guys think will be the collections reward? And for those who played last year what was the market reaction when the collections reward was revealed? Did all cards go up? (Aside from live series)
I noticed playing at shibe that it references the streak at 56. Chasing the streak would make sense.

This year there’s been a lot of over preparing for things by the community. I don’t think the TA3 market drop will happen again cause this card shouldn’t be sellable, but I could see this being another investment flop since everyone and their mother has invested in gold flashbacks.

I think it depends on the card. If it’s a must have you’re going to have those people that are impatient and willing to pay the high prices on the market. I didn’t go through it last year but that’s what I’m thinking
-
I'll say it again, why would they make both major collection rewards= Yankee centerfielders? I also dont think Dimaggios abilities would be reflected well in this game.
-
What if the collection reward is not a legend and just a super Mike Trout card?

I honestly don’t think it matters, I can’t think of any card that was extremely rare ever having a reasonable price just because it wasn’t a “must have”
SDS is actually insanely surgical with these things to the point they deserve credit. They’ve had like 20-30 different types of collections/exchanges over the years and at this point have thoroughly mastered locking in stubs from people that pay money, while at the same time allowing hardcore players to access the same card by just playing, and actually even make stubs off the people who do spend money. TA is a perfect example this year because can buy it all, or earn about a million stubs depending on how you want to do it.
When the collection comes out 90% of the community will learn about it because they simply don’t use this site, and the majority of SDSs money comes from them. The people who use this site already have everything ready like they have all year because SDS helps out its hardcore players, which is still the best part about these guys.
TLDR: This site is basically insider info/trading and still a small minority compared to the player base. Betting on the majority to spend stubs is a gift from SDS and you should take it.

It was leaked. It’s a meth’d out Lenny Dykstra for reward.

That’s a good guess but I doubt they’d make both collection rewards Yankees.

I don’t think they hate him he’s probably asking for a ransom for his rights. Would be an awesome add though
-
I could see it being a yankee as they have had some of the most memorable players. I can not see it being DiMaggio because he would be in center cause Mickey took over for him. I could see it being the babe, Aaron, foxx or honus again
-
It'll be interesting to see who it is once they announce it. I really have no idea as far as guesses go but I was thinking that it could possibly be Rogers Hornsby. His card from last year was very good and they could give him another one this year that would be even better as part of the "Honus" type collection. His offensive stats could be off the charts and they could give him a little more speed than last years card as well as a little better defense.
