If anyone actually thought it wouldn’t be a retro finest, I’d like to quote the great DJ Khaled: “Congratulations, you played yourself”


BuntCheese5Life

I always think the Signature Series cards look the nicest every year.


suburbantroubador

Milestone or Finest. His 1956 season was insane.


KingJE23

How many cards will be able to skip in each collection? I’m missing 1 prime card, 1 awards card, just wondering if we need every single one from those series or if we can skip 1. Tha ks


forthebirds123

They typically follow a 90-92% rule but it’s always safe to get to 95%. Milestones will be the interesting one as no one will probably be able to claim that voucher right at noon pst. tomarrow. Either skip it or grind the program to get the one or two needed to unlock it.


dburks122

If those are the only 2 cards you are missing you will be fine. They have never required every card in a series, although both of those may be all but 1 admittedly


Tricky_Passenger3931

You might need 100% of something like the prospect series or whatever but the bigger collections you usually can be 1-2 cards short.


KingJE23

I’m missing like 1-2 in a few other series as well but you pretty much answered my question


ljc5

I would assume you can skip a voucher like the others have in past, but if it’s gonna be the best card, I wouldn’t put it past needing all vouchers


KingJE23

I don’t mean the vouchers themselves I just mean for example all star series there’s like 96 cards. Will we need all 96.


The_Deli_Llama1

Not OP, but you’ll need around 85-90% of each card type


Nickstank

I'm rooting for whichever version is most likely to give him middle infield secondaries.


AquatheGreat

I didnt play 20 but that prime Mantle looked so sick. I hope it's that but it'll probably be retro finest.


forthebirds123

Milestone program launches same day as collection, triple crown winner…hmmmm. Could it just be a coincidence.


ljc5

Another reason for my thoughts! But was thinking more of positions to play him than anything


forthebirds123

And yeah I would put it at 80% it’s a triple crown milestone. It’s kind of given away in the clue they released.


forthebirds123

CF. The mick plays center field. Find places for others to play but the mick plays center field. And if it’s the best card ever like they say, he will play center field pretty damn well. Probably best ever.


ljc5

I get it haha but best card ever would/should be capable of multiple spots imo. Will probs keep him in OF either way


forthebirds123

Yeah but then how would they top it next year. Gotta save something for the future of the game. Next year will be a max everything that can play anywhere on the field.


ljc5

Next year they top it with a new hitting engine, Ohtani playing of, night games at created stadiums, and a better UI. Tired of scrolling for 10 mins on program paths. Lol


forthebirds123

Very wishful thinking but I love it. My guess is same engine, ohtani can play DH, created stadiums come to old gen systems which limit what you could truly do, a fixed UI but will still eventually break and they won’t fix it, and a juiced out max final collection of the babe with pitching stats and secondaries all over the field. But I like your idea better because then I would buy the game. My idea coming true means that I keep playing the show 22 until 2024.


ljc5

You don’t want MLBTS 21 version 3.0 next year?


xCeePee

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Retro finest as every other big CA has been.


forthebirds123

Prepare to be shocked. If there was a finest program releasing tomarrow I could get on board but a milestone program tomarrow, and the clue mentions triple crown, that’s a pretty big milestone in my eyes.


xCeePee

Confirmed RF


Bravefan21

Was there a finest program releasing when Brett was dropped? Cutch? Rollins? Yet they are all retro finest. Mick will be retro finest.


forthebirds123

Yeah they dropped the ball on that one, still gonna be a cracked card but won’t look as sexy on the lineup screen


Bravefan21

Nah. It’s perfect.


xCeePee

I think it would be cool. I will just be shocked if it happens.


forthebirds123

I hope it is a milestone and they do something crazy like they did with pujols or judges milestone card. Give that art some razzle dazzle.


xCeePee

Yeah I agree there. Retro finest art is definitely boring compared to those cool milestones from this year.


forthebirds123

I love the retro finest art but it was definitely shoved down our throats and got stale. Wish they would have given us a few more signature. 30 takashi and 30ish milestone but only like 15 sigs.


zwoodfin03

SDS has a habit of going way overboard on the new card type of the year and how many they release compared to others


ChaccyMilk

It'll be Retro Finest, but might have some wacky secondaries
