Mission: Play 2,131 games with Ripken at SS.

So long, USA Map! I've got a new friend in town...

Get your buddy to buy your packs. Problem solved.

Have them both here, but wife said I have to sell one of them.

Best. Update. EVER!

WARNING: Math Involved.

What we KNOW:

There are currently 484 Legend and Flashback cards in the game.

If we project out to mid-September, we should have...

• 27 cards via innings programs (figure 3 more innings with 3 henchman, 3 classics, 3 bosses each)
• 6 cards via player programs (2 each new inning)
• 9 cards via Daily Moments (July, August, September each with 2 Evolution starters per month plus 25 point reward)
• 6 cards via Evolution Programs
• 60 cards via a new Team Affinity Season (5 henchmen & 5 bosses per division)
• 27 cards via POTM (July, August, September w/ 9 cards each)
• 66 cards via Topps Now (11 weeks between here and 9/11)
• 22 cards via Headliners packs (2 per week)
• 8 cards via Ranked Seasons (2 more seasons w/ 2 henchmen and 2 World Series rewards each)
• 4 cards via BR Flawless Rewards (figure 2 more seasons)
• 10 cards via BR Program (2 more seasons each w/ 2 silvers, 2 golds, and a Diamond)

What we THINK...

• 7 more cards via Events (1 tomorrow, plus 3 more events w/ 2 cards each)
• 1 more card via 'Mariano-type' collection
• 24 cards via 4 more specialty packs (Space, Kitchen Sink, Ducks on the Pond, etc)
• 15 cards via All-Timer Teams Program (the Vlad/Ruth program from years past)

That puts us up to around 775 acquirable cards in the mid-September range.

PREDICTION:

I'm gonna go ahead and speculate Mega-Collection #3 will be for Milestone Hank Aaron, and the way to collect him is to collect 755 Legends & Flashbacks.

• It'd be achievable only be the die-hards at first, but would eventually get easier as they continue to release cards in October, November & December.
• Aaron's 99 card is GOING to be the 755 Milestone (you don't debut a card series like that in the same year as Aaron without putting the two together. It's one of the most famous milestones in all of sports, not just baseball. It's happening)
• It'd be a lot more interesting than having to get 20 Signatures, 30 Awards, 20 Primes, etc.

Who's with me?

You've been over it for at least a month.

So sorry you don't have any joy in your life. Please stop trying to take ours.

Was able to pick up a few DD cards for the collection.

This week alone, we're getting...

• New Ranked Rewards
• POTM
• Conquest Map
• New Event
• TA4
• New Mega Collection

@bob_loblaw1984 said in My experience with the event so far:

I expect SDS to address this issue. It’s been a problem for years now. A timeout is easy enough.

I’m not asking a lot here.

You're asking SDS to limit people's access to their product. That's like the worst customer service in history.

As a lawyer who doesn't speak nonsense, you should recognize that.

PNC is the best park in baseball and it's not close.

The one time I went, I sat along the 1B line and the north side of the stadium perfectly framed downtown.

One of the more underrated views in baseball.

@dtownwarrior78_mlbts said in What's the secret???:

What gives? Is there a secret way to get Jake Petricka or Janson Junk?

The secret is "Complete the Live Series collection in May so you don't have to deal with this nonsense."

So my options are...

1. Document everything in real-time, including running counts of Gold/Diamond pulls, marking off non-duplicates, and placing Sell orders for excess inventory.
2. Open all the packs, then go back to the Pack History screen and document everything after the fact, which seems like it'd waste even more time because you're looking at everything twice.
3. Quit being such a nerd and stop logging everything. (Editor's note: this option is not available.)

Just takes me longer to open them b/c I document everything 5 ways from Sunday.

San Fran and LA don't have mascots and they are mascot nameplates

I've never had more respect for the Giants and Dodgers than I do right now.

Keep the Phanatic and Mr. Met and set the rest of them on fire.
