'23 LS Collection
-
Top 3 LS are always killers. Randy v.1 in 22 and Chipper in 21 were full-cycle cards. (Yes, I know Randy v.2 was better than v.1, but v.1 might have been the second best pitcher in the game, lol.)
Because of this, the LS collection will be a bear, like always.
Last year I pulled 4 Trouts when he was still green lights and 3 or 4 Acunas when he was still high, so I lucked out. I expect the LS Gods to rebalance the scales this year. And that hurts, because $99 is all SDS is getting from me...

That's what I'm most curious about. With these crazy high diamonds being available at launch, how will they be able to keep some of the collection rewards relevant or just even worth the grind?
Collection awards will be Core set while the crazy high diamonds are Set 1.

Not sure how much that will matter with set 1 not rotating until July and by then we will likely have gotten a ton of equally high set 2 cards. Unless they completely change LS rewards, I just don’t see them being nearly as expensive this year as they have been in the past (especially since there are way more things to spend stubs on early).
-
The value will be in that the main rewards will be core cards so they are eligible in any season.
I think it's safe to assume that the big 3 collection cards are Jeter, Big Mac and Sosa. This are some of the most request and desired players this community has asked for. That alone will drive up prices for the first bit as I suspect that will be the only place to get those 3 players minus Jeter and his low diamond free card
-
With the latest reveals, i could see 99 Jeter being The AL reward, 99 Sosa the NL and 99 Mcgwuire the Big collection reward.
-
Sosa and Big Mac would be controversial choices for one of the final 3. I think Jeter has too low power to be considered for the big reward.
We'll see!

Jeters best card will have a ton of power. They are going to juice his cards soooooo bad.

Today's twitter vid, to me, all but confirms the LS Collection Series rewards:
AL: MS McGwire (49 Rookie HR as an A)
NL: Awards Sosa (MVP)
MLB: Sig Jeter -

MLB: Sig JeterDid it say the "set" because if these are core that might as well be complete confirmation unfortunately my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I'll need someone's help on that

MLB: Sig JeterAgreed, but unless the division cards are also 99s (and they may be), the LS collection will still be cheaper than ever by mid-April (obviously prerelease will be stupid due to all the whales credit cards).

Still on the fence about selling everything off that can be sold and buying back later. Guess it will depend on what I can earn just by playing and what I pull in my pre-order packs.

As much as I’d like to use Sammy day 1, I’ll be NMS again. Probably get him in April sometime. Plenty of other good RF options in the meantime. No interest in Jeter.

That Sammy Card will be Crazy and Jeter will be Honus Wagner with a little more pop and without the speed.
-
With the new Legend Video (Jeter+Jazz explaining), to me it is 100% clear, that
LS is Jeter
AL is McGwire
NL is SosaBecause the Cards shown in the video were CORE and Core are either LS or Collections. They would not show Collections rewards that far in advance, if it weren‘t the LS Collections.
Maybe a hot take too, but I am pretty sure

I will be getting sammy fairly quick, but also have no interest in jeter so will take my time with the al collection.

MLB: Sig JeterYep, I agree that those have to be the top three and they are "Core". I think those could be worth the grind for. Also, I think that Sig Series Jeter card art is pretty darn nice!
-
While the Jeter card does look sick I’m most interested in Sosa. Speed and power like Jazz was saying in the video.
