Big Christmas

u/PhelpsTheory 1d ago

99 Vladdy because he definitely won't be part of the finest series, I'll take it lol

13

u/AquatheGreat 1d ago

Hate to be that guy.... But these programs need more than 4 cards. Give us packs or something

5

u/MidwestSaxophonist 1d ago

Best they can do is a choice pack for a Moonshot card

u/gopacktennie 1d ago

Yeah, these programs have been awful. They made sure to include a Yankee in all three which is just great. I’m biased, but the DS program should have had either a Polanco for the walkoff vs Detroit last year or an Edgar card for the double. They even posted on their socials on the anniversary of the double; would’ve been nice to get in game recognition, especially considering the highest Edgar is like a 91.

There was a moment for it

u/BigJ0526 1d ago

Power swings only for Jhonk, son of Pronk, to hit 500 ft donks

u/SuitApprehensive Classic Man 1d ago

johnk and pronk hitting donks back to back

u/Lopsided-Weakness269 1d ago

Big Christmas with 125 contact/power/clutch but 70 vision and 30 fielding

u/Bigboi88888 The Boys Are Back In Town 1d ago

The card last year had 114/105 contact with max clutch, 90 vision, and 76 fielding

2023 ALCS Adolis Garcia needs some love

14

u/SandmanTX131 1d ago

They gave Anthony Santander a 2023 ALDS Card but we haven't gotten a single Ranger lol

Friendly reminder... Texas swept that series.

Please, SDS, can we get a Texas Ranger?! In any capacity?!

u/carlp222 1d ago

You will take another Yankee and like it

u/JodyJags 1d ago

Had a card last year too, I believe.

u/lkasnu Best Field 1d ago

That Zach Britton could have been in an Oriole jersey but he isn't.

15

u/HateMcLouth 1d ago

The Orioles Britton card is still throwing in the bullpen and waiting for Showalter to bring him in

u/lkasnu Best Field 1d ago

Ubaldo intensifies

1

u/Youre_my_hero 1d ago

Haha so true

4

u/Qoppa_Guy Common 1d ago

I do agree though, making his 99 card a Yankees postseason card is a bit egregious.

1

u/_denimchicken_ PlayStation 1d ago

You’ll take your Moonshot Zack and you’ll be happy with it!

11

u/tvkyle Stealing bases like there's no tomorrow 1d ago

Phew, I was worried there wasn’t going to be enough 99 OVR Yankees this year.

5

u/Soldier7023 1d ago

Only ALCS?

12

u/gopacktennie 1d ago

Jesus Christ, we have enough Yankees.

3

u/Ali-asligma 1d ago

Every one of these retro programs they've put in a Yankee. it gets to a point

5

u/bodnast katoph 1d ago

Nonsense!!! They can always find new Yankees to give us!!

Gehrig still needs a 99

u/SPIDER-MONKEY21 1d ago

Big Christmas!

THE ULTIMATE PRESENT UNDER THE TREE

5

u/Mattyboywins 1d ago

I have a 1.65 ERA with the previous verlander this is about to go crazy

8

u/NoBusiness9595 1d ago

Good to see Vladdy Jr get a 99 after the year he had. would have to be a retro card for him to get a 99. he had eye surgery a few days ago hoping it helps him next season.

3

u/StringfellowHawkes 1d ago

no Eddie?! I am such a sad puppy right now:(

3

u/Oppo_Tacos 1d ago

Is this pre or post eye surgery Vladdy?

7

u/JTF2_ARCHANGEL 1d ago

2025 so his vision stat will be 14 with 125 power

15

u/strokesoflightning 1d ago

All ALCS cards but whoops, no Rays. Dont worry though, we can give the Yankees their 83RD FLASHBACK while the Rays remain UNDER 30

-7

u/CorneliusGunt 1d ago

Nobody wants Rays cards besides Rays fans pal

3

u/-DekuScrub- 1d ago

I want rays cards and I’m not a rays fan

7

u/HugeBrownAreolas 1d ago

That Vladdy card is gonna be unbelievable. Hope the kid has a bounce back year next year. Those new eyes should help him lol.

3

u/aerojovi83 1d ago

All AL cards huh? Alright

5

u/Acegolfer04 1d ago

Lmao so they release a 98 Verlander and now a 99 Verlander

Meanwhile the only card I want is locked behind Judge and Ohtani 1.5 million stubs and wont release another one

11

u/Bigboi88888 The Boys Are Back In Town 1d ago

This is Verlander’s last year in the game for potentially a while, they kinda had to give him a 99

-4

u/Acegolfer04 1d ago

I know but the 99 I want is a paywall

1

u/Adorable_Tomato125 1d ago

The market was so bad this year

3

u/mansontaco 🎤🐟 1d ago

I quit early cause of the Tulo cost

3

u/Acegolfer04 1d ago

Wow. Im not the only one then. I wanted Pedroia and Tulo and wont get the one I want

3

u/ColdGloop 1d ago

Nice. Needed some Yankee bullpen help

1

u/bodnast katoph 1d ago

Meanwhile with my Giants bullpen who have one card over 70

That's literally why it's retro.

u/musicman3030 1d ago

So no new packs?

-3

u/Infinite-Eggplant843 1d ago

Vlad is so overrated

6

u/nilesh11panchal 1d ago

He literally had one of the greatest post seasons of all time

3

u/Bravefan212 Prestige 1d ago

One pitch from being World Series mvp

-6

u/AquatheGreat 1d ago

Up until the WS, then he choked like a dog

3

u/PhelpsTheory 1d ago

He hit .333 with 2 homers? I don’t see how that’s a choke?

-1

u/AquatheGreat 1d ago

Maybe in the beginning of the series but he was ice cold at the end

u/nilesh11panchal 1d ago

Our coach choked, we were out managed

u/AquatheGreat 1d ago

I'm glad someone can give Dave Roberts some credit. Yea he's got like a MLB the show type God squad, but he still pressed all the right buttons

u/Candymanshook 1d ago

Vladdy being a poorly statted dud, just doesn’t bode well for the rest of the cards in these drops & finest. They really gonna save their bullets for L&F and chase cards in October.

u/aresef 1d ago

Still feels wrong to see Britton in that uniform.

u/Leather_Activity5468 1d ago

Copy and paste noel from last year. This game is trash aff.

1

u/Sznappy 18h ago

It’s called the retro championship program because it’s cards from prior championship series or postseasons.

1

u/Leather_Activity5468 18h ago edited 18h ago

The fact ya’ll okay with this copy & paste bs is insane. Community full of bots. No wonder why sds don’t care about fixing glitches and all the mechanical problems 22, 23, 24, & 25 had. Y’all still gonna buy it🫵🤡

u/Sznappy 17h ago

It’s like what the program is, they always do the retro programs. I like it because it gives me a chance to play cards from prior games that I haven’t played or if I did that I liked.

You do realize the retro lightning player every month is a copy of a lightning player of that month from a prior game?

Just so you know ahead of time anytime you see a program called retro that’s what it means.
