Retro finest cards
-
Prior to these cards the best card for these players were
Sheffield = 98 Awards
Goldschmidt = 86 New Threads
Carter = 80 Contributor
Turner = 90 Cornerstone
Miller= 96 PrimeI knew any eventual Goldschmidt card would be a Diamondback. At this point I am wondering if Cardinal Fans will ever see an MVP version before he retires.

Even though he's at the end of his career, I'd love to see JT finish it with the Mets, who never should have let him go in the first place. His cards in the game are always good. I can say bye to 99 Alvarez on the Met theme team. Piazza is insane! Here comes Carter. Not a fan of Alvarez anymore. Too much of a free swinger. Mets fans know. Gary can help toward the 399 hits i need for the Mets #1 icon. That's insane!

Goldy's got twice as much career WAR as a DBack (39.9) than as a Bird (22.6).
The New Threads card was what took the place of a 'Gold Card'.

Seems like Gary Carters finest year should have been with the Expos/Nationals but oh well. Hopefully they suped up his hits against righties otherwise no one will use it again

I never said that he should not have been a Diamondback card. In fact, I have been saying all along that he would get a Diamondback retro card and that the Diamondbacks need the cards.
That is different than me wondering if he will ever get his MVP card, which would be a Cardinal.
There are only two MVPs and two Cy Youngs each year. I am not sure why they don't release those for cards at least once in the following year.

Fine with all but the Justin Turner card. If they were going to add a second Dodger, add Duke Snider.
Also, interested to see if the Andrew Miller card has a circle change like his previous card.

Interesting to note the amount of Finest Cards per year
2022 was the first year they added a year to the current year finest cards so the 2021 total is all of the finest, both current and retro
Finest
2021: 74
2022: 124
2023: 72
2024: 60
2025: 14 (That is counting the 5 released today)The year Specific cards for players of that current season
2022 Finest: 45
2023 Finest: 118
2024 Finest: 41
2025 Finest: 75 -

Offensively this is where they rank based on my offensive formula
#5 Sheffield
#16 Goldschmidt
#23 Turner
#43 Carter -
It was fun using a few Retro Finest that I never used or had only a few AB's with.
Never used Kipnis, but went 1-3 with a homer in 2 Sunset Conquest games.
Got Bautista late. He homered at PNC, and I got him to P3.
Joc Peterson homered as well.
Cutch was at P3 and did well, even flying out to himself at PNC!
When I unlocked Goldy, he homered off Sasaki at Dodger Stadium. It was glorious, but on a FB, not the Splitter.
On the flip side, Turner & Carter have been terrible! -
I wonder if they should have expanded the Retro Finest collection to put a end game Griffey and maybe Brock in with the voucher.
-
What voucher?

@DrBear100_PSN
Did you forget about the Spotlight Griffey? -

Did you forget about the Spotlight Griffey?No, I mean while they are doubling up on some endgame cards, they should give Griffey a 2nd card that is an endgame and Brock and/or another card that's being neglected a 99 in the Retro Finest collection to combine with the very easy to obtain retro finest voucher for Bautista.
