Headliner #40

I finally got lucky and pulled a headliner. Now I’m not the type who plays the market or looks to accumulate millions of stubs, I like collecting. On the fence about keeping or selling though.
I know what you mean. I pulled Peralta from the ASG pack which is a little less than Yelich. He was the only card from that collection I didn't have....keep or sell? I still haven't decided. I'd probably keep Yelich...though if you sell now you can probably buy for cheaper in 2 weeks.
I was not helpful here.
-
1st pitch vs leftie and Yelich goes yard. Stats don't tell the whole story. My only concerns for him were leftie contact and arm strength. I think his defense will be good enough. He will definitely smash righties and has good enough speed to stretch a single into doubles.

LOL 200k for 85 contact and power vs L no thanks
Right. I love me some Yelich as much as the next guy but that contact is scary
-
I refuse to buy HL packs. Such a rip off. I don't see how anyone pulls these cards. Their value is so extreme because I have a feeling that SDS has jacked down the HL pull so low there are only like 12 available. RIP. OFF.
-
I bit the bullet as well, HL packs are complete junk. I did get two 5K diamonds at least. First diamonds I've pulled from HL packs in a couple years.

Meh, you’ll probably face a righty 90% of the time. I’ll be starting for me and have a defensive/righty replacement in high leverage situations late game. It’s that simple

That was epic my dude. I got excited for you. Hes gonna be good. If worst comes to worst you can keep a outfielder with better contact vs left as a backup. I hit a homerun with him first at bat vs a leftie.
-
I’m giving him a shot over Harper. I like to keep at least 2 lefties in my lineup

this [censored] game...My first Show pack after opening all 5 Headliner packs (and getting jack squat) and SDS gives me LS Yelich

So your saying theres still a chance lol, i know i'll get him eventually. I can wait

If you buy all 5 headliner packs, you should be guaranteed to get the card
I just went 0/5, yet again
I also bought all 5. First pack I get a diamond....... LS Kershaw worth 5k lol. Trolled!
-
Yelich is so good. 2 of his first 3 homers were off of lefties. Jackie,Yelich and Kemp first three up and they all homered. Jackie parallel V is a different beast. All those pop fly's he hit before are all homers, worth the grind,
-
What do you guys think, Walker or Yelich? I plan to play some RS games again after grinding TA4. I would have to sell Walker to get Yelich, but if IRC Yelich has a very good swing. Would platoon him in RF with Vlad.
-
why is that the final headliner? seems weird that they would stop now.
-
Regular Season is ending and they'd rather stop on a roundable number (40) than some random number (43).
Another side benefit of stopping now is that there won't be any confusion if there was a Headliners 42 pack.
-
who cares about stopping on a round number? There are SO many big cards left to be released, seems odd to quit doing headliners this early.
-
Last year we had 50
@SaveFarris_PSN who? Lol

Postseason Program/MomentsMost if not all of these were planned for in advance up to a year out.
They know who's left to be released.
As the late, great Fred Dalton Thompson once paraphrased: "SDS don't [release a card], son, without a plan."
