Last collection today
-
We haven't had a pitcher yet for the L&F collections yet, I am gonna say Elly for Finest collections, Roger Clemens for L&F collections and Biz will be a Chase card.
They literally just tweeted that Elly is part of the legends and flashbacks collection
-
So they just tweeted Elly - so that means hes not the mega reward, right? Just an in-between reward?
-
@rubicante23_psn don’t know that I’d make that assumption. SDS isn’t always great at choosing their words when trying to promote something.
-
It says ADD Elly through the legends and flashbacks collection today so I can only assume that he's not the final collection
-
I am not on Twitter or X, or actually any other social media platform, these forums are the closest thing to social media that I am on. Thanks for the correction.
-
They never tweet out the big reveal at 9AM. Usually, thats the spot for the 3rd biggest reveal - then a bigger one at noon, then the major reveal during the Live (or at 230 if no live)
So, Im gonna guess Elly is like a halfway reward.
-
He is not the final collection. He is part of it. I am assuming there will be potentially 3 rewards in it as it will be the final big collection
-
I don't do collections so I have no idea how they work.
But, to me, it says Legends and Flashbacks Collection so I am still thinking he is the big reward. Not sure why it would be their first reveal of the day
Kind of Fun reading the outrage on X. It's amazing how many people still don't understand the games usage of the terms Legend or Flashback.
The Legends and Flashbacks Collection just got even more electric.


Add 2026 Finest Elly De La Cruz through the Legends and Flashbacks Collection in MLB The Show 26!
Live today around noon PT.

-
Hoping you all are right and there is multiple legends and flashbacks in the collection but I’m not getting my hopes up. Again SDS is not the greatest at choosing their words (exhibit 1 was the “new modes” tweet prior to postseason program release).

I agree, it clearly says he is the collection reward. People are mad because they were waiting for him and thought he would be a normal Finest card or the Finest reward. It is denial haha.
-
I don’t understand the hate from people toward SDS. There is nothing wrong with having a desirable reward to grind for the rest of the season???

I will agree, if and only if, this is not the Reds only Finest Card.
Remember they have not received one at all yet.
I do think locking a team's only Finest behind an expensive collection is egregious. They have had a enough program cards with three programs to give every team at least 1 free earnable Finest card.
-
Aarom Judge or Ketel Marte ( I can see either one) as the Finest collection reward and Biz as the chase card, revised predictions. But would Ketel make sense since we just got Polonco?
-
I dont care one way or the other - but theres a Live today, so I dont think SDS believes Elly is the biggest reward.
-
@WolfgangMLB_XBL as I've said over and over, most people seem to hate grinding this game. They want to get rewards - but they'll do anything but grind to get them.

What do you mean? There is no live stream if that is what you are hinting at. They would have put that on the schedule.
Today we get the final Finest Drop
New Event Program
New Mini Season
New Conquest
Legends and Flashbacks CollectionNo mention of a live stream

Who gets to define what a grind is?
The talented player or the awful player?
The person who can devote 20 plus hours a week or the one who can only spend 5-10 hours a week.
Grind is a relative term. We don't get to define it for others.
-
@rubicante23_PSN I don't mind grinding, I just don't want to see the grind take 4 weeks or longer based on my play style or be a game mode that I have no desire to play.
For example, I doubt I will hit the PXP legacy rewards for the All-Star players or draft. Based on my play style, I would be looking at 80+ games played with just those players to reach it and I would rather use players that I enjoy using then make an All-Star or Draft player theme team. So I already know that those two cards I'll never receive by playing the game.

So, that’s it? Elly’s the last Master. No tease? No guessing the picture? Wow! Did somebody need to catch the last train home? That being said, I loved his earlier card. He was my favorite player for a while. I can’t wait to see what it’s going to take to get him. Before the Finest Drop, I was only 5 cards short of all the voucher and uncollected sets - I don’t acknowledge the Red Roch Draft and Spooky Variants which I hope doesn’t come back to bite me. Curious to see the skippable sets. Good luck!

️I really was thinking we'd get a 99 Biz, but perhaps he just won't be a collection reward.
