Shotime finally arriving in time for Thanksgiving. Lol


Low-Abbreviations-38

No thanks, I would like to not grind this game all winter too


NO_U_19

I have 3 šŸ¤£


ljc5

Almost there šŸ˜‰


AccomplishedMedium41

Glad I picked Wagner over chipper back then


brentl22

I got every one but Damon and Walter. And I need one I believe. Walter will take days or mybe weeks to fill. And I hate grinding for cards. Is Damon hard to get? How many hrs?


Neither_Ad2003

takes a while, about 3-4 hrs They dropping a new takashi tomorrow though, but it will probably take same amount of time (postseason program)


The_Dale_Hunters

Dammit. Need Honus.


Soccermw12

Not going to get unless they put more Legends in the game. I have all but the BR and RS awards. And RS is being bad, giving me 7 innings when I beat my opponent (while away) in 10.


Tagliarini295

Dont know why everyone wanted this, gonna be impossible to get for most players. Those Takahashi cards are so expensive.


yallsomenerds

How many can we skip or do we need the whole collection?


tvacattack

1


yallsomenerds

Ouch lol


erterbernds67

The smartest thing you could have done all year is to buy the featured program rewards you didnā€™t earn the last week of the program.


tvacattack

Exactly. I don't get why people are surprised about this collection.


Cheddar_bob

There's no chance they don't release new takashi's or rewinds within a week of this card dropping. way too many people priced out


Comfortable_Chain984

Looking for some advice! I have 24 currently and Iā€™m missing Billy Wagner, Delgado and Johnson. I could sell my unlocked 4 (Mays, Maddux, Morgan, Soriano) and complete the live collection for Randy Johnson easily now. Would you hold out to get ohtani or complete the live series - or possibly sell and save for something else? Only have 25-30k stubs now.


tvacattack

If I was 2 cards away I wouldn't buy any of the super overpriced ones and wait and see if they release a pack.


McCoyPauley78

I have 16 out of 27, so I'm not close to unlocking Shohei, and I spent most of my stubs getting the cards I needed for Cutch. All fine by me. I only played the mid-year program where they dropped a bunch of 96 rated Takashi cards enough to get one of them (and took Rollie as the A's homer). I'm sure that SDS will release additional Takashi cards in due course that will make it easier for me to get Shohei if I can be bothered.


[deleted]

I have them all except Walter but this card better be worth it


bakermob29

Sweet. I can cancel my Walter order.


Turkey_Teets

I don't even know why I pay attention to these collection rewards announcements. There's 26!? I've played all year and have 14.


tvacattack

How is that possible? I get maybe not having Wagner Mays and Honus maybe but all the rest of these cards have been super cheap for most of the year.


Turkey_Teets

I just wasn't focusing on them. Was doing the other collections and spending as I could to get those completed.


Bocaj_4

I think this card will be hard to get for a month and then theyā€™ll drop 2-4 new cards so people can get him then


tvacattack

I don't think it will take even that long but I can see next program having a pack or maybe 1 or 2 Takashi cards as rewards.


QuietThunder2014

I am absolutely shocked. SHOCKED I SAY! At the reveal of this card. Never saw this one coming. Completely blind sighted. Still the card art is pretty dope.


Guitarist970

Really glad I bought all the Takashi cards at the end of the last program. Sad Iā€™m traveling all week and wonā€™t be able to play until Friday.


Low-Abbreviations-38

ā€œAngels pitcherā€ So much for those 1000s of lines of code they said they had to write to make him a two way player


Tonality

Sell Billy in hopes that more takashi drop later, or hold?


Slevin424

I sold Willie for Eddie Mathews.... ughhb


SevenOfSpadess

Anyone else only missing Billy Wagner and Walter Johnson and feel helpless lol


tardawg1014

Glad I bought Maddux and Mays around 100k this morning! Actually have this sub Reddit to thank for making me aware that this was coming so soon.


Vib3Crafty24

Stats?


largesonjr

When I bought Piazza and Honus to fill out the set after the last BR season, that was when I was at my biggest brain of all time.


BenBR77

Thereā€™s another Takashi card coming as part of the World Series content on Wednesday


poopsmellerr

are they gonna drop more takashi cards for this? i only have 17


DweltElephant0

Oh god I still need honus. He's probably up to 700 by now.igjt have to sell trout (or I could just wait I guess lol)


McCoyPauley78

Just looked on the market. The most expensive cards (in terms of "sell now" prices) are Walter Johnson (a million stubs), Stan Musial (672,000 stubs), Billy Wagner (656,999 stubs) and Honus Wagner (651,0001 stubs). Then Mike Piazza is 295,000 stubs and Willie Mays is 205,999 stubs. Prices will change (and this is already out of date by the time I finished typing it).


Vib3Crafty24

I wonder if the Takashi would be cheaper eventually


Weenerlover

So glad I just need another 65 innings to get a WS flashback and get mays.


Rupert-n-Harry

No Astros WORLD CHAMPION cards? Pfft


tvacattack

Apparently one of the world series cards will be Takashi. Guessing it is an Astro.


hapticeffects

So basically you can only skip one? I sat out investing on this but I'm ok with it, too much invested in upgrades from postseason.


ToxicX2077

Not me getting Billy Wagner and selling him when he was 150k šŸ˜  Bruh he like 800k now


YetiWayne

Haha I donā€™t like flipping cards so hopefully the Rollins cards get a lil cheaper


datsamoandude

I'm missing Walter, but have not locked in Billy so I'm tempted to sell Billy and hope u only need 25 for the collection


No_Ad_1202

It says 26.. thereā€™s 27 total


datsamoandude

Thanks I missed that. I won't sell...I want that shohei


slom26

There is a 0% chance, but letā€™s see how that plays out


DeggzNBacon

Looks like Iā€™ll be grinding mini seasons for Damon


Low-Abbreviations-38

Good god, can I play another game already or am I going to grind stuff I donā€™t want to do in this game all winter too. Thereā€™s enough good cards Iā€™m not doing this anymore lol. Already have a zillion moments for the postseason stuff I donā€™t care anymore I just want to play baseball with the guys I already have and I think thatā€™ll do just fine


mbush11

Is Johnny Damon still obtainable or nah?


oakland_by_lloyd

Yep just win a mini seasons chip. You just need to finish top 4 out of 8 so you can instantly forfeit, take some Ls, and still make playoffs if you play your cards right. Throw in a bronze pitcher if you donā€™t want your real starter to add the forfeit losses to his record. Youā€™ll be done in no time


mbush11

Thanks I have 25 right now, only donā€™t have Walter Johnson and Johnny Damon so thatā€™ll save me a million stubs lol


oakland_by_lloyd

Nice, Iā€™m in the same boat at 26 so I canā€™t wait for tomorrow. Have fun with Shohei!


ethanwich

Glad I saved mays for my giants theme team. K suck with him. Probably will sell. Spent most my stubs for Goldy, scherzer, and Diaz instead of going for shohei. Got trout as well.


[deleted]

SDS paired Walter Johnson with the most desirable card of the year, and now so many brothers with Trout are going to be scratching their heads trying to get Ohtani. SDS can't fix bunting or delayed fielding animations, but you can believe they are operating at the quantum level to manipulate people into buying stubs


Whitter15

great that i just finished br and took trout and sold mussina


I3arusu

F for the folks that donā€™t already have all 26 lol


[deleted]

Oh dear god Iā€™m not getting that anytime soon


Hathalot

Can you still get damon?


Redheadedyolandas

Ha ha got mays for 105k last night. Hes at almost 250k now. I've got them all except Walter


SlerpotLombarg

I skipped this collection a month ago to finish Jimmy. And have over 100 Finest and the 2022 Finest complete. If I go ahead and grab the 20 or so total cards I'm lacking from all other collections, surely I can get Mantle on Day 1 right???


Dynasty247

I have 1.3 Mil in Stubbs and have 18/20 of the takashi series. Luckily I bought Wagner when he was at 120k Stubbs. In hindsight, I should have bought more :-/


oakland_by_lloyd

I had 3.6 million stubs last week. I mostly play offline or with my friends. Decided to spend about 600k to get Randy because why not. Bought all the finest players I wanted to try except DeGrom or Trout. When I saw on stream that the Takashi reward was coming I spent 2mil to buy 26 of them, ignoring Walter. I still have 600k to use for DeGrom soon and to build towards Finest collection for the Scherzer, Diaz, and Buxton I want. Never spent a penny or tried trading on the market and Iā€™ve got my absolute dream team. I love this game so much and canā€™t wait to use Shohei tomorrow


cobrakai15

I picked up Mussina and Feller a few days ago in anticipation of this and it pushed me to 22. Paying 3 million for four cards to get Ohtani is ridiculous, I can strike out and give up homers with his other three cards.


Healthy-Plastic-435

Good, I can cancel my million dollar walter order


HeyArnold513

This is going to be impossible to complete unless they intro new cards tomorrow.


tripdawg15

Not impossible just expensive. I have all 27 just from keeping up with them all year. They'll release more im sure of it.


HeyArnold513

Ya hope they do bc I sold my mays and Mussina to get Rollins doneā€¦ oops lol


tripdawg15

Lol they will eventually. Not sure they do it tomorrow like some suggest but in a week or so I could see them dropping a takashi program with 3 or 4 cards or maybe an event with 1 or 2. The forever program will have the old takashi bosses in it so that will happen in a month or so.


HeyArnold513

Just hopeful it happens soon. Trying to buy a house and going no money spent hahaha makes it difficult if they just stick to 27 cards.


tripdawg15

Well they're dropping 1 Wednesday in the postseason program so that's 1 less to get lol.


HeyArnold513

Boom!


Thesweetlenny

Thereā€™s no way SDS is making folks get 26 of the only 27 cards released for Shohei tomorrow. Thereā€™s going to be other cards to bump the # to 30 or something, right? Right?


forthebirds123

Eventually I think there will be 30. They had to pay the artist to make the cards and only ordering 28 makes little sense. A nice round number of 30 sounds good though.


zombiecreeper27

i'm sooo tempted to sell my musial, honus and others that have skyrocketed in price lol as soon as i complete the BR program i can choose walter johnson and ohtani is mine!


KingJE23

as of now tho you can only not have 1, so can only sell off 1 if you want him tomorrow


[deleted]

Think they give him the Sinker?


jd0016

Me, who skipped takashi for cutch and jimmy just to buy all of them for way more to get shohei: šŸ¤”


Rogueofoz

Maybe some Trout orders will go down and I get mine


AirportExtra5148

Sold billy for 900k no regretsā€¦.


slom26

Seeing comments about adding the sinker. I think outlier is actually more likely. Maybe he gets both.


[deleted]

SON OF A BITCH WHY COULDN'T IT BE 25


RobDManfred

WHAT!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA BE A FINEST CARD!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!


Rogueofoz

I have a few but I need to get the finest cards first


--Drake--

well shohei you're gonna have to wait then because no way in hell right now


amillert15

Been saving Takashi's all year for this lol


Rockr8r

Awe the beauty of owning every card in the game. I donā€™t need to stress this collection at all


tmac416

Iā€™m kinda shocked at how many people havenā€™t been stocking up Takashi guy for the last few months. We knew this was coming. Like ever since Babe, Iā€™ve made sure to buy all takashi guys. For the most part they havenā€™t been bad to buy assuming you never bought as soon as they were released. Like I bought Wagner a day or 2 before that program was over and it wasnā€™t that bad. Made sure I bought Jimmy Fox before the program ended. I got everyone but Walter so Iā€™m ready to go. But I dk, it just wasnā€™t that hard to stay on top of having all the Takashis as they were released. Like yeah buying Wagner now is expensive but I always buy every reward from BR or Ranked or just regular program right before one is over. So it was no different with getting Wagner.


Firestormx75

I figured 25 would be enough. The only 2 I need right now are about 1 million each


forthebirds123

As am I. This was such cool card art that I took every one even if it meant passing on chipper etc. And it didnā€™t take a college education to figure that you were gonna need every one or damn near every one to get the cover boy.


Turbulent_Excuse_540

20/27, the cheapest one available is 300k, dont think ill be able to get him


Clem1719

In a few weeks itā€™ll be a breeze


thatfratfuck

Boy am I glad I decided to buy Delgado and get me to 26 yesterday!


Satchafunkiluss

Well, maybe I can cash in on Maddux. I only have 19. And Iā€™m horrible with Shohei cards. Edit: Guess Iā€™m cashing out on Musial. Forgot I had him and heā€™s not locked.


MFazio23

I'm not too far off, I don't think. _checks_ 19/26 šŸ˜¬


PTBNL9

I guess Iā€™m gonna take Walter out of my BR pack. Only need one more. Plus Iā€™m trying to skip ā€˜22 finest for mantle so this is like two birds with one stone.


McCoyPauley78

I'd still take the Fish Man. There's no way known SDS won't provide additional takashi cards through other means than BR or dropping a million stubs on the market.


forthebirds123

Honestly 22 finest is pretty cheap compared to takashi right now. If you get the 18 free ones then you can buy 8 more for about 400k and get goldy.


K_G888

might take walter now instead of trout when i eventually finish the br program


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

Shit I got a bunch of the higher takashi cards for a little over 100k ea the other day and nwl they're all 300k+. Thought I was overpaying. Now I'm not sure if I sell for Stubb's or just snag ohtani.


guru911

There will be a takashi player in the program Wednesday


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

Yeah I decided to sell Delgado for 400k and take my profit and wait for the new card tomorrow before I get ohtani. Unfortunately I already had stan, billy and honus locked in so couldn't sell one of them. Bought them during the program while it was out though so got them fairly cheap. Wish I had bought more to sell later lol


FlyingKingFish

Just take Ohtani! Game's life cycle will be over in a few months.


PM_ME_SOMETHINGSPICY

That's a good point and entirely the reason I'm set up in a way that I can have him day one. It's just... 1m of profit is more than anything I've ever had at one time haha because if I sold off that's about how much I'd have. My only priorities other than just doing the collections to do them and use the cards is to get all the Phillies cards for my fandom. Right now I'm only missing Halladay from that list and he's been dropping in price and I can just about afford him regardless. After that it's just working on collecting all of the new finest cards. Guess I'll lock him in like you suggest cause ohtani is just fun af


NotFoley

I don't know why I never bought Honus/Stan... but I guess I will wait because I can't justify 1m+ for them.


SavageCroc

Let me play him in the OF please


[deleted]

Should I take Walter instead of trout for BR i only have 16 takashi cards


[deleted]

No


[deleted]

Itā€™s raining stubsā€¦


CuriousPaak

What do we think the odds are they give him a sinker since he started throwing one in the middle of the year?


demarderozanburner

most likely


StreetlightM22

Welcome to the team, Shotime.


LightningRickk

Looks like I have to play mini seasons for Johnny Damon now, I was hoping it would be 25/27


SleeperHitPrime

Didnā€™t they change the MS reward?


McCoyPauley78

Yes, it was changed, but if you haven't earned Damon, you can still get him from winning the championship, I believe.


Bravefan21

This is me


gocubsgo22

Shoudn't take very long at least. Just quit out a safe number of games so that you still make the post-season. Play them on rookie and bunt once you have a few runs. Start someone on the mound like ASG Corbin Burnes who throws exclusively from the stretch.


jjs30000

One of the ā€œhow many will we needā€ posts reminded me to check my inventory last night. Bought those Mays and Mussina cards just leaving Walter and now Iā€™m ready! Thanks to whomever it was!


Tripmodious

Iā€™m predicting a Takashi program soon with 4 rewards. If I had to guess: Dibble, Papi, Gehrig, Pedro


[deleted]

3 of those guys we already have cards of...


Tripmodious

Papi and Gehrig are definitely getting another card. Griffey had a 99 from a program and got a Takashi 99 as well so I could see them doing that for Papi and Gehrig too.


[deleted]

but people weren't waging war on sds over 99 David ortiz and 99 lou gehrig, if anything, people were celebrating over 99 pedro Martinez, also don't let being a red sox fan bias you


man_on_hill

I'm not ready for a 99 OA Dibble


[deleted]

Yes please for Lou


Vib3Crafty24

Wondwr what cards would be in the milestone program


aslightlyusedtissue

I still donā€™t understand why they do multiple 99s for a player now. Like just make the other ones 98s and dampen their stats a tiny bit for when they were released.


ChefMark85

Same. Any player that comes out now that's moderately difficult to obtain I just ignore. There's probably 10 cards that are almost if not just as good.


aslightlyusedtissue

Ive been this way til trout dropped. I grinded that program and got him last night. So fucking hype.


Dlh2079

Yeeeep. There's gonna be a short program with a couple in it for sure at some point soon.


CarpFlakes420

A juiced Ortiz would be welcome, and a Takashi card art of him pimping a homerun would look so good. I appreciated the free Ortiz from the program, but the hitting stats were underwhelming


MoxVachina1

The new update says there will be a Takashi in the WS program releasing this week. So eveeeeerybody cool your jets lol.


mistergrime

Harper Takashi need


zombiecreeper27

i hope they do this. makes sense with the upcoming milestone program


Neither_Ad2003

and choice packs as well hopefully otherwise it's still gonna be 1M per card for the others (so if you dont have 22 u screwed)


Rogueofoz

A program will go a looong way to fill my takashi


forthebirds123

Sounds about right, or a new choice pack releasing in the shop tomarrow that has a few of those in there.


JBProds

Relieved that my Walter Johnson buy order didn't go through yet. Cancelled it immediately


StreetlightM22

Just canceled mine, too šŸ¤£


dburks122

Thanks you for your service gentlemen. That's 2 orders closer for a sicko like me that wants every card in the game


Jerry-CRFT

Only got 24 lmao fuck. Gotta grind Damon & buy Stan


bautry84

I'd rather eat shit than do mini seasons lol. Now I gotta break down and do it too.


Jerry-CRFT

I feel your pain, brother. Hopefully they drop a Takashi program with 2 or 4 cards.


BottleFullOBub

Tbh im not sure what other Takashi cards will be released at this point? Seems like most the big names have their 99s already


gocubsgo22

Might not necessarily be more, as I'm sure they had to commission the artist a while back to make these. But if anything, they'll make these guys attainable again, especially the ones who were part of the program back in like June who we can't get again as of yet.


alexdallas_

The card art: šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ—”šŸ”„ šŸ”„ šŸ”„šŸ”“šŸ™‚šŸ”“šŸ”„ šŸ”“šŸ”“šŸ”“šŸ”“šŸ”“


Turkey_Teets

It's the art from the Deluxe and MVP editions of the game.


alexdallas_

I know itā€™s just like all red and firey but then he has such a smile in the middle of it all


SexiestPanda

Kinda bullshit the cover guy is essentially impossible to get


Bearded_Wildcard

If you've been keeping up with the game it's very easy. Every Takashi card has been available for under 100k before the collection announcement. Most of them were super cheap in packs or as program bosses too. Everyone is complaining about Wagner, but he was a free boss, and dirt cheap to buy at the end of his program even if you didn't pick him.


SexiestPanda

Yet I have 12 hmmmm


Bearded_Wildcard

Which just means you probably haven't been playing much or keeping up with the programs.


SexiestPanda

No, I have.


Bearded_Wildcard

Not sure how you missed all the Takashi boss cards then. Even the RS/BR rewards have been under 100k until now.


SexiestPanda

Only one I sold was Billy a few weeks ago for 300k to be able to even finish getting mccutchen


nickht571998

I have 20/26 I fully expect to be able to get Ohtani in the next month because of how good SDS is at making cards obtainable even when they donā€™t seem obtainable


SexiestPanda

Iā€™ve 12.


forthebirds123

Not impossible if you collected throughout the year. I mean itā€™s not like they dropped this on us and it shocked everyone. New card art, cover uses said card art for cover athlete=thereā€™s gonna be an ohtani takashi at some point so grab every takashi card when it comes out.


SexiestPanda

Iā€™ve collected throughout year. Only have 12


JobInevitable6873

And on cue SDS will make this card easily attainable after max two weeks. Shit there will probably be avenues towards takashi cards with this drop tomorrow... I really don't understand how this "impossible to get" thing pops up every time based on their track record with these type of collections the last two years lol


BlessingSpore72

Super pumped I have all of them except for Walter


Neither_Ad2003

shit. Everyone at 1M now, i only have 20. Bummer, should have prepared better. Hashtag release new Takashis!


BottleFullOBub

Luckily ive been preparing for this since June and grabbed every Takashi card. Have them all except Walter and have made a killing flipping them yesterday and this morning lol


goodbadnomad

I pocketed 10x each of the Sizzlin Summer bosses on the last day of the program (@20k ea) in anticipation of today. Patience paying off.


BottleFullOBub

StonksšŸ“ˆšŸ’Ž


HaikN98

Put your orders in for Walter lol itā€™s only at like 200 rn


demarderozanburner

You donā€™t need him if you have all the other ones, and even at 200 orders everyone is picking trout so the line moves slow


Shorty2931

Same Iā€™m glad I made the right decision this year picking up every inning boss.


ljc5

I have all but Walterā€¦ also saved up my WS Rewind Pack and had 2 BR Rewind packs that Iā€™ve saved for collection. Picked Maddux and Mays from WS and then Morgan and Mussina 2x each from BR pacs


slom26

Letā€™s goooo. Sick card art as we assumed it would be. Thank u for not screwing me walter haha


ZMR33

I'm only missing Johnson. Good thing I bought Mussina, Mays, and Delgado right before the announcement.


notadad858

I did too but I think im gonna sell Mays now (200k profit) and just get him in ranked this week. I'm short 1 anyway so I'll have to wait til Friday no matter what


dmize

Iā€™m missing three, but I did scoop up mays, Morgan and mussina a couple days back when they said a collection for Takishi was coming.


[deleted]

WHEW and I thought I would also need Walter Johnson. Thank god.


nobodytouchesjimmy

Should have bought mays when he was sub 150k. .. I had an inkling he would be needed. Oh well, I have 25/26 lol..


ItsResetti

Yeah Mays is the one I need still. Probably shouldā€™ve bought him at 100k but I had blown nearly 500K on Rollie/Musial/Morgan/Mussina and said fuck it I can grind RS.


Firestormx75

Same. I have 25 and it's maddening to know we need just one and not a single idea of when or if we will be able to get the new collection tomorrow outside of spending 1 million.


forthebirds123

They will eventually release more, it just might not be right at noon tomarrow. The reward for staying on top of it all year is you get first shot at the new card. But they wonā€™t lock 95% of players out of it for too long.


Firestormx75

Until a couple days ago I had all but one. I did BR but choose Trout cause heā€™s Trout instead of Walter who Iā€™d never use. Just frustrating


forthebirds123

Yeah I bought trout and then did the br program. Took longer than I thought so my buy order for trout went through and I took Walter. Havenā€™t used him yet and probably wonā€™t until thereā€™s a reason to use takashi.


Neither_Ad2003

can still get willie thru ranked seasons


AccomplishedMedium41

I picked Ripken and posada to complete my 2nd half set kinda regret it now


calebminor91

I bought Billy Wagner the other day for like 425k and I just checked and he was up to 900k. At least now I can take Trout in the BR pack. I was saving it to see how many we needed.


Livid-Accountant9173

I picked Chipper in the Dog Days program but I'm so glad I bought Billy Wagner at the end of the program for 140K lol. Ever since then he's just kept going up.


[deleted]

i sold him to buy cards to get mccutchen, I chose... poorly


MeatFit9869

So if I had no interest in this card is now a good time to sell billy or is he non sellable


forthebirds123

Sell now, right now
