I hope there is an AJ Pollock card, i know he hasn’t done much but I have always done well with his cards.

Good call, he did hit 2 home runs with 5 rbis in game 5. It was a bit overshadowed by Chris Taylor haha, but an AJ Pollock card would be great.
I definitely think Yordan will be getting a card since he won the MVP. I didn't know that was the longest no hit bid in AL postseason history, that's cool.
I'm sure you're right that the LCS will match the wild card since there were the same amount of teams, it just feels like a much bigger program considering it's for the pennant and there will be at least 12 games, possibly 13 versus the 2 wild card. But that doesn't really change how many teams were involved hahaha.
I don't know, I'm kinda reasoning it out and willing it to be longer but I bet you will be right on the money.

If it's Luis Garcia instead of Yordan I'll cry.

If anything, I imagine it would be both. But definitely Yordan, he won the series MVP.
Let's call on our forum historian @SaveFarris_PSN
If you have a moment, what was the LCS program like last year? How many points, how many reward cards? Or was it a whole different format? Thanks so much. -
They’ll probably do 2 per team

For WC, DS, and LCS, they'd release a set of moments that worked exactly like Topps Now. (Do all the moments for that set & earn a pack that included half that round's cards.)
A couple of days after they released the LCS Moments set, they released the first half of a program similar to what they've done for WC and DS this year. Rewards included players from all rounds and duplicate WC/DS/LCS packs so you could pick up all the other cards you didn't get the first go-round.
The final half of the program was released a week later after the series was done and included all the WS cards AND 2018 PS MVP Steve Pearce as a bonus.

Rosario and Matzek for sure.
Maybe a 53 overall Luke Jackson too.

I think that Luis Garcia will get a card. He now holds the AL record for the longest No-Hitter bid in AL Postseason history. (5 and 2/3 innings)
Don Larsen through a Perfect Game for the Yankees; how can Garcia hold the record with 5 2/3 innings?

Okay, thanks. I was a bit confused.

Historians also tend to split postseason and world series into separate categories with the first postseason not until 1969.

Riley earned his first game winning hit and is due for a new card as well.

Also had the home run and an rbi (triple?) Maybe double in game 2. He and Freeman are both due.
We also will have a few Braves to look forward to in the WS program regardless of if they win or lose. Braves fans are about to be very happy which might repay them for not getting Glavine or Maddux.

nobody is talking about eddie rosario

Only because he is for sure getting a card for winning NLCS MVP

That's a perfect game bid. Not a no-hitter bid. Yes, they are both sort of the same thing, but they are put into different categories.

Yeah, I was kind of waiting for someone to say that; and I do agree. I just didn’t think they would bother to mention a 5.2 inning no-hit playoff game as a record if he were not a rookie. I could be wrong.

The Rosario situation highlights how overinflated ratings have been this year. He already has a 98 PS card from last program that crushes. Maybe that one should have been a 95 so there was more room for a bump. Little forethought.
I booted up 20 a few nights ago and noticed that the skills ratings were much less "maxed out" than with this year's cards. Extreme 99's still had holes in their games. Not this year.
SLOW THE ROLL with the "endgame" cards, I say.

when does the program come out today? or has it already?

98 Rosario is a Topps Now card, but the point is still valid. To be fair to SDS, nobody expected a guy with a 98 wRC+ this year to have such a good postseason, but bad/below average hitters having great postseason numbers happens basically every year though.
