Lightning cards?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I think you can eliminate everyone you mentioned but Stargell cause I’m pretty sure none of the Jolt guys will get second diamonds this soon - and I don’t even think we’re getting Hank Aaron cards at all cause they put him in the NGL series this year
-
We have no idea what this cityscapes thing is so your guess is as good as mine.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN Good points. Back to the drawing board.
-
I would expect the cards to have a similar art style to the image they posted earlier.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN I don’t remember that at all. What was it?
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN Big Mac 98, but he recently got a headliner. Pujols 06, not likely. Tony Gwynn in 84 is interesting… Joe Morgan 75. McCovey 63.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN that’s a second possibility: Stargell and Gwynn, who isn’t actually back in DD yet - not sure whether he’s on the offline legends roster (also no, we’re not getting a sub-99 Pujols, Felix or Tulo all year)
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN yeah besides the golds we didn’t get another Roger Beltran or Gil last year if my memory serves me right minus now and later.
-
Realistically is probably gonna be somebody who’s had a above average not elite April but somebody who will be a card people will wanna drop some dough on.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN we did! Roger had a 64 overall common in Moonshot 2.0, and Gil’s other launch day card was actually a 79 overall silver (Veteran series, Mets’ TA program). Beltrán, now that I think of it, might’ve been the only one of them who actually did have a gold (an 83 overall Cardinals All-Star, also a TA reward)
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN I know they had other cards sorry I should have worded it better I meant useable nobody was using a 64 Roger or 78 Hodges.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN ah gotcha - at least they gave the right guy of the three the gold
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN yeah that’s my bad I more aless meant other diamonds like 85 plus I should have worded it better.
-
I mean overalls don’t really matter. Just how good the cards play. People get too fixated on if it’s going to be a 93 or 94 etc when the stats are really negligible.
-
We have no idea what this cityscapes thing is so your guess is as good as mine.
I dread the tall strike zone on the ESB it better have a quick swing to make up for it, though good news is reunion tower sounds like it will be a switch hitter
Space needle will definitely have massive power. -
I've been calling for slower power creep for years, and it only ever gets faster. No hope of that changing.

Be rice will be the lightning player, retro is anyone’s guess
-
Ben Rice
Why? He has had an excellent month but he is not, or should not be the lock that you think he is. Will he get a card? Probably but it should not be the Lightning.
Yordan Alvarez was
1st in AVG
3rd in HR
Tied for 3rd in RBIS
1st in OBP
1st in wRC+
1st in WARHe beats Rice in every one of those categories
The Yankees have 26 legends and Flashbacks to Houston's 10
The Yankees have 9 cards with an OVR of 90 or above to Houston' s 4If Houston gets robbed of the Lightning card, assuming it is a position player, then it will be a travesty. I don't even really like Houston but it is hard to deny Yordan's month.

@Dolenz_PSN Not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but didn’t he get a lightning card last year?

No he got a lightning in 2022 which they recycled and reissued in The Show Classics series in 2024.
In 2025 he had a
