Free (??) Negro League Upgraded cards on Friday
-
They make it sound like if you have already done the content for these two cards then it will be a free upgrade? Either that or the post is just worded badly
Not only was Hilton L. Smith a talented two-way star of the Negro Leagues, he was also one > of the greatest pitchers in baseball history with a devastating curveball.

Pretty obvious it's the "Earn PXP with the low diamond to earn the 99" evolution-type programs.

Could be. I was expecting a Negro League program or content on Friday. I knew that they would not release a collection just for the cards we all could already have had.
I was thinking a Showdown, Diamond Quest or short program for a few more cards.

Sounds like the cornerstone program to me.

Would they do a cornerstone that starts with an already released card instead of three new cards in the timeline like every other inning program?

Join the club. I'd rather get 2 Doubles with Daniel Nava.

This is a W if all you have to do is exchange the lower cards for a 99. Some of these cards could be fun to try out.
If I remember correctly, I think that Turkey Stearnes card has kind of a glitchy swing. -
