Yankees only account for 25% of the cards this week.
Pirates get 0% as they should

There is still a program as well…which will probably have a yankee
The program is Sammy Sosa
And it looks to be a multi-part program that will release throughout June to unlock the final 95 card. That would be the highest rated program card yet, I believe.
Yes, but you can't get it until June 30th. We will be 3 weeks into the next Inning Program at that point. Next bosses will probably be 94s (maybe 95) and only 2 weeks before getting the All Star cards, which in the past have been in the 97-99 range (but I am kind of thinking that won't be the case this year).
So if he is the highest then he won't be lonely for long
Cubs getting some love this year, behind only the Yankees and Dodgers in number of cards.
-
The Sosa program seems pretty cool. I like that it runs the whole month and will give something to do throughout the month as new moments/missions pop up. Appreciate they are trying something a little different.

Lol.

And another week of 0 Red Sox. We're now close to 100 TN/Spotlight with 0.
I know the team isn't great but I'm pretty sure they are the only team with 0 for this year.
@Dolenz_PSN can double check this.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Surprise surprise, big market preferential treatment, you should expect this yearly Doly boy. lol
Cards have had some decent cards this year, so meh
That 83 Beltran still wont come out of my lineup so I can skip the collection this year if need be.

Only because I was sitting down at my computer and was cooling down after some yard work.
Note: These totals may include flashbacks. I saw no way to filter beyond the card type. Also it may not include all of todays cards (I was too lazy to check)

I do. I am not a newbie.
Yeah, I have no problem with the cardinal cards so far. Of course I knew that the downside of getting so many of our legends early meant that we would have a dry patch until they can justify a new, higher overall version.
Also, I wonder if Donovan's overall might go up a point or two if SDS switched him to 2B instead of LF. He's played 41 games at 2B and 12 in LF

The Red Sox have had a number of conflicting cards. Mayer, for example, got a Topps Now card last week but he already has pipeline. Campbell was rookie of the month but he has a card too. Bregman and Devers both have good cards already.
The Mets, on the other hand...only conflicting thing is a gold new threads and the one spotlight they got was lower than it should have been. Any of the five starters could have easily gotten an April Spotlight, Brazoban has been fantastic in the pen, Acuna was rookie of the month in April and of course Brandon Nimmo...
David Peterson must have slept with someone's wife. over the last two years in 30 starts he is 13-5 with a 2.83 ERA, and had a series clinching save in the post season last year. No cards to show for any of it though.
-
@TheDaveyG_NSW Will it be the highest rated card in a month when we can actually get it? This reminds me of the retro lighting cards they did a few years ago. They showed us the card a month before we could get it and it was underwhelming by the time it was attainable. What an awful idea.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Donnie Bats would have a 99 and a program already if he were a Yankee or Dodger lol

No chance the weekly chase card isnt a 96 or even 97 by then. Its 94 now.

The fact that the Marlins have 5 and the A's have 6, while the Red Sox have 0, shows they don't care.

Yup count me in with the group that thinks grinding for a card for a FULL MONTH is one of the dumbest ideas they've had in a season of dumb ideas.
No one will care about the card by the time it comes out. Even Sosa/Cubs fans will be underwhelmed, knowing a 99 Sosa will arrive. Who knows, maybe they'll even slip a 97 Sosa in there a month later.

Or it shows that the Red Sox have 17 other non-LS 85+ diamonds... that's kind of a lot compared to most other teams.

I'm with GoozeFn. It makes sense to me.
Topps now has always been an opportunity for SDS to give rookies and players who might not ever see a higher level card a moment to shine. They have been doing that for years.
Last time I did a count (2 weeks ago) the Red Sox were still tied with the Phillies for the fourth most legends and flashbacks in the game. Oakland and Marlins were further down the list.
Lets look at Red Sox Actual Topps Now Cards
- 5/25 Marcelo Mayer - He already has an 87 card and Topps Now are only 88 so there is no point.
- 5/23 Rafael Devers - He already has a 90 card
- 5/17 Rafael Devers - He already has a 90 card
- 5/14 Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela - I am not sure SDS ever gives duo Topps Now cards a card in game. Plus this was a defensive moment.
- 5/7 Alex Bregman - Already has an 88 and a 85
- 4/26 Jarren Duran - A card for most steals of home - How would that moment work?
- 4-18 Trevor Story - Literally a 92 overall boss card this inning.
- 4-15 - Bregman - see above
- 4/6 Bregman - See above
- 4/3 Bregman - see above
- 4/2 Garret Crochet - Has an 85 Live series and an 88 flashback Topps Now
- 3/29 Kristian Campbell - Already had an 87 Pipeline Card
- 3/27 Kristian Campbell - Already had an 87 Pipeline Card
That has been all the choices for SDS to pick from for Topps Now for the Red Sox this season. Maybe you can make a case for a Spotlight Card but based on the above I think it is perfectly understandable why they have not gotten a Topps Now card.

I do these weekly programs but dont know why any longer. I never use any of these cards. I liked when it was Topps Now in the past. I don't know, maybe those cards were better when they came out weekly. But these weekly cards right now seem like they get the most obscure players of the week and give them cards. It's like none of the stars who had big weeks get any cards becaus I guess they have to have their LIVE cards mean something.

I have not even started up the game since the update yesterday. Nothing interested me. Sosa is nice but the June 30th date to get the card seems far enough away that I feel like it is not urgent.
Plus I just am not smacking HRs out of the park that often this year so the thought of trying to put together a cubs lineup and play multiple 9 inning games with them trying to hit HRs sounds like torture to this Cardinals fan.
It also seems counterproductive that 20 HRs with Cubs or 20 HRs with RFs are only worth as much as a single moment even though they would take significantly longer for me to accomplish.
