I love Laughing Mountain for the triples. I'm very close to that tuxedo uniform.

My only complaint was about the multiple showdown missions to get cards for collections.
Showdowns are boring, time consuming and frustrating at times (GOAT tier defense, perfect/perfect outs, etc.).

I suggested that they allow stats and PXP to count towards players/teams for having to do these. I wouldn't mind dedicating the time to do these as much if I was able to progress my players as well as work on team affinity.

@FellsPointGuy
I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

I think he is going to be very similar to the Kyle Seager card except with speed.
The 2016 Retro Finest Seager card hit 30 HR and played 158 games that year.
They gave that 121/122 power, 125 clutch and 99 durability.

1996 Steve Finley 30 HR 22 SB
Could be a sneaky good OF card.
Maybe looking at 120+ power, 90+ speed, boosted defense to go with his glitchy swing.

Ahh, who am I kidding? I'm extremely bummed this isn't Robinson Cano.

Keith Hernandez is always one of the worst cards for me.
Even if they max this guy out, I still won't be able to hit with him.

Tim Salmon is kind of interesting though. I recall liking his snapshot series card.

To say this is disappointing would be an understatement. 2 weeks for another Finders Keeper card and it's Keith Hernandez? I hope FK #5 is better than this (please release a Retro Finest Robinson Cano).

@arvcpa said in Season 6 Info Released:

@Ericulous1 - love my Bryan Reynolds Finest, but equally excited for Retro Brian Roberts. Love that card. Even in December.

I share in your excitement for Brian Roberts. He is an extremely glitchy card.

Finders Keepers
15 Cards Reward - 99 Brian Roberts (I'll say it, I love this card)

I can't believe they are just going to "push the button" and S6 is here without a stream or any sort of reveal.

This actually makes me kind of worried about S6. Will there even be a collection reward outside of the finders keepers?

I'm a Boston fan and I'm both upset and offended.

I feel awful for ranked players. Those cards are atrocious.

Retro Finest Wade Boggs as a Yankee? Why is this not a 1987 Red Sox Retro Finest card?
I will find all those responsible at SDS for this hate crime and have them charged accordingly.

I admit, I was all in for the 99s right off the bat and it was fun for like the first 3 sets. However, it got stale really fast. There were too many repeat 99s, worse 99s or worse cards after a 99 for my taste.

It's also annoying that we are in December and there are still a ton of Legends that don't have 99s or good 99s yet. How do we not have a good 99 Willie Mays yet, but have like a dozen JT Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber cards?

I do feel like this could have been a good idea if they had some sort of game plan for it.
However, if it stays as is, I'm out next year.

Sell now, buy for cheaper later.

I got it as well. Pretty sure it is an error.

If you have a buy order for it, I would recommend cancelling it before you lose you stubs and have to fight with SDS to get them back.

1. Do the Postseason programs.
   These are probably the best cards you can get quickly. Nothing lower than a 97.
   After doing moments and showdowns, use those players for the conquests (the XP will apply towards the postseason program and Team Affinity).

Bonus: Postseason Mini Season is a good way to get even more cards and packs (just check the Goals)

2. Work on the Julio Rodriguez and Juan Soto PotM programs.
   Just more usable S4 cards that can help you grind for TA.
   Do the moments/showdown first, use those cards to help grind XP to finish the monthly program and TA.

Bonus: Monthly Mini Seasons is a good way to get even more cards and packs (check goals).

3. Grind Team Affinity.
   Showdowns, Conquest, Moments

4. Have fun!

@jnavarro25 said in The Astros Uniform seems to be missing from the latest drop:

I have collected every uniform in the game except that one. It is listed on the market but I see no evidence that one has ever sold. Has anyone else noticed this?

Is it the 2002 Home Jersey, by chance?

My 99s wishlist:
Cal Ripken (his 99 All Star card needs better defense and speed)
Wade Boggs
Johnny Damon
Yoan Moncada
Ivan Rodriguez (his 99 HR Derby card needs better defense and speed)
Hal Newhouser
Salvador Perez
Twins Torii Hunter
Jorge Polanco
Joe Nathan
Tim Salmon
Troy Percival
Chili Davis
Edgar Martinez
Lee Smith
Ryan Braun
Lou Brock
Steve Finley
Dodgers Jackie Robinson
Willie Mays (needs a much better 99, bring back The Show 21 milestone card)

Sad when the only card I want is the 97 Chris Martin. Luckily, he should be easily attainable.
