Who is left for the Extreme rewards?
-
Extreme is a very difficult program. It is a impossible program for many of us.
That got me thinking of what card(s) could be the ultimate reward in Extreme? The problem is that I don't think many of the remaining legends without a 99 card move the needle much. The biggest name without a 99 is Stan Musial but that is not a meta card that everyone would want to grind for (as sad as that may make me).
Satchel Paige may be the best guess that I have. Possibly Nolan Ryan? But would they make it a pitcher?
Unless there are currently active players whose 99 cards get coveted by everyone who does not have one yet. Bryce Harper comes to mind.

Satchel
Dunn
Buck O'Neil
Duke SniderCurrents w/o a 99:
Yordan
Scherzer
Goldy
Harper
S Marte
Nola -
Nolan h/9 125 maybe. Satchel but he seems to get smashed online. Musial. Frank Thomas 125 hitting across the board. 125 h/9 Diamondbacks Randy Johnson. But really the Meta is what switch hitter could they add. Seems not having Mantle in this is a blunder. At this time of the game it doesn’t really matter what they add since we already have maxed out hitters everywhere

Considering that this is the latest Extreme has ever dropped and there are already so many 99s, I think the final reward has to be a juiced two-way player to make it worth the grind.
-
It will be a switch hitter. Not much left though. Guardians Lindor?
-
Gagne was in the extreme reward path a while back, makes me worry for this year. Was hoping to get his 99 outside of the extreme path

It's not the latest.
Last year's blog post about it appeared on Oct 18th so one day later than this year.
I did not do it last year but it there were a lot of cards to be had, including of course an Extreme pack.

Maybe a juiced Trea Turner card, he’s always a fan favourite.
-
2-Way Ohtani
Kenley Jensen with 4-5 pitch mix
Elly De La Cruz or another switch hitter -
Elly De La Cruz, Yordan Alvarez, or Juan Soto
-
99 Paige and 99 Ryan gotta be in play.
-
Gage and miller both need 99’s as they are always too choices for everyone. I might be in the minority but I Miss me some Kenny Lofton
-
Elly 99.

Elly 99.
If they do that then who gets the Red's Finest?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a triple headline of Skenes, Henderson, and Cruz. I know they all already have 99's but it would make sense given this years branding to have an elite card for all three.

The first tease has happened. This was posted with a clip of the Diamondbacks who scored 7 against the braves in the 9th in June

The problem is Finest exists. If Skenes isn't the Pirates Finest card, who is?
... Braxton Ashcraft?
Kiner-Falefa?!? -
Cal Ripken doesn't have a 99 card yet. How much more extreme is it to be the iron man of baseball?

Dihigo and a pitcher Shohei
