Topps Now Diamonds
-
I really hope 3 Weeks into the season is not the beginning of Diamond Topps Now releases. Let's do it all monthly SDS. First two Weeks Golds, Third Week 85 Diamonds. Final weeks 87-89 Diamonds.
In All Honesty, I think the Overall of the card should be reflected by the Moment that warranted the card, but hey...Why not give a top Pitching Prospect a Diamond card for throwing 5 IP and striking out 7.

Honestly the overall of a card does nit really matter. There are some gold cards that are better than Gore and Lauer. Don't let the blue diamond fool you into thinking these are great cards. To me the biggest issue with SDS is releasing those FOTF cards which are really great cards, it's going to be hard to replace some of those for the next month regardless of what new overalls they release.

85s are fine. You still want them to be usable for ranked. I just hope they go slow and wait until at least July to start pumping 90+s.

I agree with you this way they can build events around TN cards and there would be more varied lineups. They could put a lower restriction in the over team ratings.

I agree, but the realease of 85's this early leads to in increase in overall rank faster...we don't need 95+ diamonds that are close to end game that's based on a guy that stuck out 3 batters in an inning. Sorry, but we don't need a 97 Joey Wendle that's a better card than a 97 George Brett. Keep them low. Let them be useful for Early Team Builds, BR, Events. But we don't need High Diamond cards that are based off of a Single Game achievement.

I understand why people don't like high overall Topps Now cards but no one uses them anyway, even if they are extreme. The only Topps now card all of last year that I saw more than 5 games was Grandal. I saw Brett more times than Wendle too

That Grandal was a beast. Slow, but a great bat.
At least we aren't getting super juiced prospect cards like Edward Cabrera last year, (or was that '20?) this early. -
