Honestly though, Babe is a pretty big fan favorite. For those of you screaming "L"....who did you really expect? Or who did you think it should be? Prime Matsui?
Someone who wasn’t another lefty 97ovr first baseman. If they were dead set on Ruth, it needed to be the 99 Ruth.
He's not a first basemen he's a primary outfielder who will maybe have 1B as secondary
If you are viewing him as a 1B primary that's on you
And his silver fielding in the outfield isn't even bad normally people just tend to treat any outfielder that isn't Buxton/Griffey/Mays/Mantle/Trout level fielding as Nelson Cruz. As long as dives are still broken silver fielding in the outfield is more than fine. We all know the drill though, when they release another Takashi card via headliner or Event reward next week someone will come here and whine that they paid 500k for Maddux
100% I like how they have done this basicly of you want to do a collection right away it's gonna cost you but if you are patience you will get it done for nothing.
Can't wait for the freak out on Friday when to get the big collection done you will need 90% of the cards in the game and the market shoots up and people saying it's a money grab even though you could wait likely just a couple weeks and get ot dome

You are changing the argument. The argument isn’t the cost of the collection, it’s that the reward the online community (correctly) views Ruth as a lefty first baseman in a collection that already includes a lefty first baseman at the same overall.

I kind of like the fact that I won't be able to get Fridays collection done immediately too(I won't be that far off but still). In 19 the chase for Honus was awesome. Trout in 20 day 1 was extremely easy as was Mo last year, and I had Mookie, Kershaw, and Griffey day 1 too.

I mean if this community of baseball fans is viewing Babe Ruth as a first basement I am going to question their knowledge and understanding of the game. Babe Ruth is a Primary outfielder with 2241 games played in the out field, 163 games as a pitcher and 33 games at 1st base.
In fact Babe Ruth played more games in CF at 74 games then he did at 1st base in 33 games
If this community views him as a 1st basemen then that is on the community an not SDS

I mean your issue is the that it's a card you feel can only be used at first base simply because it has that as an option so you view it as a first basemen reward. When in reality it's an outfielder primary card that like anything card in this game will be replaced in a matter of weeks.
By the end of the game cycle we will have 14 LH first basemen and 16 RH first basemen
This game is not all about the mete and the God squad its about collecting and building a team of your favorite players past and present and future come Friday. If you only view this game from one perspective as a competitive mode you are always going to be disappointed
-
Bringing it back to Babe, he still has made one of my all time favorite plays in the OF scaling the wall at Shippet in 2020 to rob a 3R HR and secure the win. More than happy to find him a spot on my team as his walkup and point animation when he comes up in a walk off situation is still one of the coolest things to see.
-
This collection seems pointless today as it requires an expensive and very similar Delgado card plus a VERY expensive Maddux card.
In a couple weeks it should be easier and cheaper. I'll be happy to have Babe then.

Cmon man. Don't be that guy, you know [censored] well Ruth and Delgado are firstbaseman for 95% of the community. If you put them in the outfield you are either a terrible H2H player, or a vs cpu hero.
Ruth's a demon in left field, some of the animations his cards get over the years are unreal.

I have Cruz in my OF. Mainly because I like Cruz and I really don't give a [censored] if he cost me a game.

Honestly him not being a 99 just makes my decision to wait and not rush to get him day 1 and over pay -Lock in hella stubs to get him that much easier so either way I’m fine . The big collection reward I’m sure will be a 99 makes more sense since that will require owing a lot more cards gonna take a wild guess I think it might be 99 Ken Griffey !! .

people will go crazy and not in a good way, considering belli would have low contact vs Left it wouldn't be worth it. My guess is A rod this year, that commercial he did with Griffey jr, Randy, and Ortiz just gives me a feeling A rods coming this year, that and the phillies legends like utley, howard, getting huge 2009 Ws vibes.

Collect all means collect all available right now. There will be more of them released down the line. and why would they make this card better than the one that will be released for the big collection?
Because it is asinine to have the collection be a 97 lefty first baseman (or terrible OF) for a collection that includes a 97 lefty first baseman. If they were going to keep the award a 97, then it should have been for effectively anything other than a first baseman (or terrible defensive OF).
Also, due to D and speed, the Ruth 99 is never usually a “meta” card when it finally comes out, so having it come out early for a change to give him time to shine would have been nice as well.
Yeah, it's Babe Ruth! People just want to play as the Babe.
There are so many other interesting cars there could be and players not seen. From Ted Williams to Satchel Paige. Yet for many fans they don't know these players.

He’s basically a lefty Frank Thomas and people locked in a lot more than that to get Frank…
Yeah but frank was a very good card early game, and you had to get him for Randy. Silly argument. This turns Delgado into a 140k bench bat.
It’s not a direct comparison but is any card really worth locking in a million plus stubs?
You’re just paying for the name in most cases. Otherwise all of these Future Stars dropping this week will basically play just as well as any other card.

It’s all about swing (personal Preference) since none of the legend Players have Active quirks like live series cards have .

If you don’t like the card don’t get it. Some people will want to use the card and others will not, just like every other card. Why come here to whine about it?

Unlikely. He was a collection reward last year.
