I do like Mauer, but my collections are still in rough shape...

I wasn't even paying attention to the "Event Program", and just launched in to play. Went back and checked the "rewards".

3 standard packs, two deluxe choice and one "premier" choice. No rewinds. Not really sure how this is a "Vintage" program, other than the roster restrictions. Weird. And boring.

Pittsburgh Pirates (1881)

I'm bummed that we haven't had a Honus sighting yet this year. I'd love it if SDS got creative and made the "oldest" card in the game. 1899 Honus, while playing for the Louisville Colonels (which folded into the Pirates in 1900).

Alas... maybe he's not going to make an appearance this year.

@SaveFarris_PSN said:

C'mon SDS. Make it happen!

Yes!

And while you're at it... build "Las Vegas Ballpark". It will be the new Coors Field.

I'll be in my 70's.

Event idea: NO SWITCH HITTERS!

They used to have "righty/righty" and "lefty/lefty" events. That'll fix it...

@rubicante23_PSN said:

The new event program is again that you can play with any legends and flashbacks -

Now that I think about this... this event will simply mimic Ranked. I don't see many LS cards these days in Ranked. Ugh.

Agree 1000000%.

I agree 1000001%. So, I agree even more than you do.

@rubicante23_PSN said:

But instead...you get to play with...like...pretty much anyone....

EXCEPT MY LS SILVER CARDS

As for your idea for an "All Brewers Event"... again... I'm in!

@rubicante23_PSN said:

its always just like "you can use 60 percent of the cards you have!"

Events, in the past (when they were running 24/7) used to have interesting restrictions. Now... not so much.

Just read the restrictions - "Live Series - Bronze and lower". I mean... they should have just said "Legends and Flashbacks".

Now... if they had an Event that was restricted only to "LS - Bronze and lower"... sign me up!

Given that Raleigh is on the DL, I'm curious to see if he drops from a 90. I'm guessing "no".

@whitejw98_MLBTS said:

The Trout card's price I understand. What I don't understand is why as soon as it dropped, every other card in the collection got way more expensive.

Whack-a-Mole!

I bought those 3 cards around 8k. When they went to 13k, I sold them. Brilliant!

Let me see what they're selling for now. Ummmm.... over 40k.

Story of my flipping/investing in 2026.

@Ericulous1_XBL said:

have a nest egg to do some flipping.

I just went 4-2 in the Silver I group, and got my Chase pack. Opened it, held my breath and....

85 LS Acuna.

So... I have 3k to add to my war chest/nest egg. Things are looking up for us!

Major network errors on xbox net to MLB. Come on guys

Honest question... I can't get to MLBTS, but I can log into GTA online on XBox. What does that mean?

@samguenther1987_PSN said:

but only 2 sets away from 99 Cabrera, have to get the All.Star and Egg sets done, but i'm focusing on the Spotlight cards now, want that Chipper and Tatis.

I'm two sets away as well (St. Pat's and Eggs). I finally got the Chipper card. Miggy can wait for me as I struggle with his cards. Mauer? Not sure. I looked up my stats with his 89 card. I have 45 AB's, batting .375 with 0 HR's (all offline).

@Ericulous1_XBL said:

and it’s a Dodger………OHTANI!!!!!!

If I pull him, I'll probably quick-sell him by mistake.

Congratulations!

I'm with most of the folks here with regards to the Paul O'Neill moments... the Clemens one was difficult, the opponent teams/uniforms are messed up, etc.

However... they should have had "O'Neill gets a HR and a Triple for Kramer"

Make it 2 XBH's.

Missed opportunity for sure.

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN said:

sometimes you gotta add the last of the reinforcements on the next turn

This...

Do I keep going until I can get LS done? I "just" need Judge and Ohtani. That would give me:

Pedroia
Manny
Felix
Albert
Tulo

I've never been great with Albert. I've only used Tulo in Showdowns, and I like his swing. I typically like Manny.

Or... do finish these collections to get these cards:

Spotlight Chipper - need about 120k stubs to complete
Mural J-Ram - need about 130k stubs
Vintage Ketel - need about 100k stubs
Cityscapes Mantle - need about 70k stubs, but I'm leaning against as I struggle with Mantle every year. I'm sure we'll need him for the next "big" collection in mid-June.

I like all 3 of those cards. Of course, they're all switch-hitters.

I'm leaning towards the latter. What would you do?
