Thursday's Finest Cards Revealed
-
The final reward is Yanamoto
Interesting choice... I'm guessing not a "Forum Favorite".
EDIT... I need to read before I post. I thought this was going to be a "collection" reward. Never mind...

San Diego Studio once again gives a big middle finger to the Reds
There are still 4 teams without a Finest card revealed this year

San Diego Studio once again gives a big middle finger to the Reds
Stewart and Burns just got cards.
Elly is probably 99% chance in either the Finest collection or the mega collection
Maybe they drop a Pagan or Burke tomorrow but there isn't a lot to choose from.
-
So no new exchanges.
Since they did something similar with Easter, I wonder if tomorrow they release a pack 3, but then also put all of the cards in a deluxe style pack together in a giant pool of RNG "fun".
-
These need to be captain cards for theme teams SDS!

You continue to assume they are somehow against handing out multiple 99s to certain players. I agree it would be strange to have a 99 Stewart in topps update and then another 99 a month later but I also wouldn’t bet against it the way live content has rolled out this year.
@savefarris_psn is projecting Yordan is a collection reward. That would make 2 99 Yordan’s this year and both would be collection rewards.
-
Yordan's 99 is 4 months old, big difference from the Stewart scenario.
Also he has a fan/streamer favorite swing
-
I'm ready for a new 99 Yordan. I used his last one at DH for at least a couple months. Love his cards.
-
That Isaac Paredes card is a tank. The pack cards dont strike me as super useful (except for Mason Miller).
Also - why does the 4000 pxp say its Repeatable - by the time you get 4000pxp, you have 100 points and all cards anyway.
Was the original thought that you could repeat to grind packs???

So far only 5 players in the 2026 Finest Drops had 99 cards before
Byron Buxton - All Star issued on July 9th
Shohei Ohtani - All Star issued on July 9th
Brice Turang - Spotlight on Aug 5th
CJ Abrams - Spotlight on Aug 5th
Jackson Merrill - Spotlight on Aug 5thSo some of the very earliest 99s and we all know those were somewhat crippled 99s compared to what we are getting now.
Based on that I would say
Jordan Alvarez is likely because his 99 was an All Star Released on July 9th
Based on those I expect the Cardinals will get Jordan Walker since his 99 was on 7/13 and was a HRD card. Burleson has an outside chance since his 99 was on Aug 11. Wetherholt is a no go since he just got his 99 in Oct.
-
All things considered I do think SDS has done a good job with the 2026 season specifically. Non 2026 Legends and Flashbacks are a different story.
-
I think Marte or Skubal as the finest collection reward. Yordan is an end of program reward. And finest Elly is the mega collection reward. Likely they make whichever of Marte/Skubal is not the collection reward, the chase card. They could go Clemons for legends and flashbacks and put Elly as the finest collection reward, but I’m really leaning toward Elly finest with the timing and it’s a good enough card everyone will want him enough to warrant locking in that many cards.

@rubicante23_PSN
I mentioned this in another thread. They “listened” to those of us who wanted more repeatable missions, but before you can repeat the mission, you would have completed the program anyway! -
As a Mariners fan, I’m hoping they show Cole Young some love since Randy and Julio already have 99s.

My money would be on Gilbert
