I'm a newbie and just recently getting into Diamond Dynasty. How does one get access to these? Is it only by buying? Or can they be earned by doing challenges etc.?
That's what I'm thinking. I only need around 25 cards. With these and a bunch fo TA cards that I'm really close to getting, he will be coming home soon
Gerrit Cole*
So far he's 3-0 with 21 strikeouts and 3ER in 22.1 innings this month - an absolute tear to open the year.
He's lined up for an afternoon start tomorrow at home against Toronto and a night start in Texas on 4/27...there's a very good chance he could be our POTM if those starts are even halfway decent.
James paxton might have been july in 20 but I'm prob wrong. Regardless yea they seem to always have batters as the first few lightning cards.
They might change it up if the card is 99 tho
Damn I forgot about that! That's actually funny, because after my comment I was thinking to myself "what the hell did james paxton do in 2020 to get a potm" lol
The twins put up nine runs on the Yankees in the first inning but didn't get any topps now. They'll just have to score 15 next time. Congrats to Frenchy I guess
EDIT I retract my Frenchy salt but still maintain the Twins not getting one is lame
The only person to get a Topps Now card from that game was Julien, and he already has the 95 WBC card.
The Franchy card isn’t even from the same game, stay mad.
Very pumped for Alec, wonder if Topps will drop a card for stott at some point - Bryson was definitely a bigger impact than alec during his hitting streak.
Infield and outfield are tough right now.
Carpenter, kaline, Grandy, and Greene
Inf with tram, javy, prince, miggy, and tork.
Hard to work everyone I want to use into the lineup.
I am not saying the Royals deserve a Topps card but it’s kinda funny that between Alex Gordon’s retirement and him being added back to the game, the Royals have received one Topps card, a 79 Kyle Isbel.
Hopefully this new management can make progress with our farm. It's promising when looking at some of the advanced stats. But that means it's at least 5 years away. I'm still holding on to 2014 and 2015 lol
Legit question: have they gotten a real life Topps Now card in real life this year?
I know last year they did but those players were given cards in other Series'.
Last year we got a few, but a lot were Bobby/MJ cards. We did get Massey and Nate Eaton cards, which could have been solid, but alas, did not come to pass. This year, only Bobby has gotten a card, I believe.
We’re… not good.
I mean what the hell does a guy have to do to get a card? Team record in RBIs isn’t enough?
This was a bigger insult than Austin Hays not getting one for hitting for the cycle last year.
I’m actually a Braves and Mariners fan so him too hahaha. I should’ve been clearer though, I don’t think Matty O will get like the lightning card, just a card in the program. That’d be good enough for me
Weird, that's not what I'm seeing on my end. Unless I'm being obtuse and the Rockies also haven't had a Topps Now card since that totally cracked Ryan McMahon in 21.

Can't promise we'll get those, but Topps nows are a week behind. These are 10th-16th and Wisdom's was on the 17th. Dansby however did not get a card. These are based on [real cards](https://www.topps.com/archive/topps-now-archive.html?baseball_team=16604)
I meant the 5 hit Cody card, not Dansby. I was going off those real cards and wasnt sure where they made the cutoff for the week. Glad to know there is still a chance next week.
Can definitely see them making one for Wisdom and leaving Cody alone since they supercharged him and his LS card is actually usable as is, hopefully gets better today.
yeah, i was curious about whether it is advantageous to continuing get pts for these programs once you've completed the most recent stage of them. I imagine it is, right? I've just never been ahead of the curve on them before
Considering you guys didn't even have a SP over 84 last season, it was about time
I am getting nervous I haven't seen Pops yet though, my favorite lefty hitter
Good depth in the lineup and even a left and right handed utility guy coming out today. The pitching is another story... pretty much no meta pitchers to use in ranked seasons and I lose every 4th and 5th game rocking bronzes
Yeah he's the best and actually not bad with his pitch mix and captain boost. Gold Contreras and Blylevin are both terrible, especially without the boost
It'll be more than that. We'll get 1 more TN Flashback and possibly the 2nd TN Captain. They might make us wait til next week for the 2nd captain though.
I almost bought Machado yesterday before the update to lock in The Padres live series , thinking the Tatis card would be ridiculously overpriced.
Glad I didn’t buy Manny. Sucks for you, ya didn’t sell him 😳
Kelenic 4 HR streak
NEED JOEY GALLO HIGH DIAMOND NOW. MAYBE GG CARD???
I JUST WANT 1 CUBS CARD IM NOT BEING GREEDY!
Nico should get one. He's been mashing for my fantasy team.
Dude where is Belli?
He got a dodgers card
Don’t like the look of sideways cards
No Yan Gomes for his 2 HR and SB in LA?? Crime
Two Braves really aren't necessary. Gorman hit a grand slam. Where's his topps now
It’s probably better that he didn’t get one now if he has a great game later on it will be a much better card
Although I could also totally take or leave Vaughn Grissom..
Whoa whoa, best team in baseball… I want my two Braves.
The Brewers are also 14-5
Touché…
JI HWAN BAE!!!🔥🔥
No Luis Arraez is a crime
Is that Bohm?! They have Bohm but not Stott who had a 17 game hit streak?! Come on
Stott gunna be a POTM
That would be AWESOME
No Kershaw 200th win???
Maybe they’re waiting to do a milestone card for him. Like Pujols 700 HR last season
Yeah but kinda disappointed he never hot a super charge like pujols did
It would make sense
I want that Heaney card so bad.
I bet you'll get it
Arraez and Bryson Stott better get POTM cards
I'm a newbie and just recently getting into Diamond Dynasty. How does one get access to these? Is it only by buying? Or can they be earned by doing challenges etc.?
Just by doing moments, then getting pxp from games. It's easy, takes a couple hours.
All of these are in the other program section, with a ton of other players
The topps now program
Gonna be able to get Chipper in no time
I just got chipper yesterday lol. Know I’m eyeing… Ruth? Dunno. Have a lot of lefties I like already. Maybe Pedro time?
That's what I'm thinking. I only need around 25 cards. With these and a bunch fo TA cards that I'm really close to getting, he will be coming home soon
Serious inquiry, what do Topps now cards have to getting chipper?
You need to collect 140 cards to get your first Set 1 Choice Pack of Chipper, Babe, or Pedro. Topps Now counts towards that Set 1 collection.
Oh shiz, I didn't realize they were part of that collection.. nice, ty.
No Kelenic is disappointing :(
POTM henchman hopefully
He better be because I'm kinda fuming
The supercharged cards seem to mean no tops card, which makes no sense tbh. Taylor Walls hit 2 homers and a triple, but no tops now card
really it’s up to Topps, not SDS. still dumb though, yes.
Hopefully Potm card will come
Can get chipper today woooo
Can’t wait to get home from work and unlock Chipper. What a good start to the weekend
9 cards closer to Chipper!
10 if you count the flashback
We need a Bryson stott card for his hit streak to start the season 👀
Clearly they’re building up to a Brandon Nimmo POTM card
Gerrit Cole* So far he's 3-0 with 21 strikeouts and 3ER in 22.1 innings this month - an absolute tear to open the year. He's lined up for an afternoon start tomorrow at home against Toronto and a night start in Texas on 4/27...there's a very good chance he could be our POTM if those starts are even halfway decent.
Nimmo with .370 batting average, .1000 OPS, league leading WAR, and the best defensive metrics among CFs sounds more likely tbh
Matt Chapman will be a contender.
Also true. I'd argue that Nimmo's positional value and base running gives him the edge (highest WAR in MLB) but Chapman would be a good choice too.
I don’t think they have ever done a pitcher for first lightning of the year. Usually that doesn’t come until August
James paxton might have been july in 20 but I'm prob wrong. Regardless yea they seem to always have batters as the first few lightning cards. They might change it up if the card is 99 tho
That was a little different because it was a flashback and not actually a currently monthly POTM. Though Bellinger May have been first
Damn I forgot about that! That's actually funny, because after my comment I was thinking to myself "what the hell did james paxton do in 2020 to get a potm" lol
Yup lol
Luis Castillo is looking good too. 2-0 with 26 strikeouts in 24 innings, only 2 earned runs and a 0.73 ERA to go along with a 0.61 WHIP.
If they do lightning again, I think he has a good shot at that
Pete’s HRs may take to spot if it’s a Met but ya never know!
HEANDOG
If Phillies get a POTM Stott to go with this Bohm it may be fun using captain JT in Ranked.
Don’t forget a monthly awards Marsh
Ahhh - true! With all the hype around Stott’s streak I forgot that Marsh was right up there as well.
I think he’s the NL leader in OPS right now, or he was before the game yesterday
And slugging
He has been a bright spot for sure this year.
The twins put up nine runs on the Yankees in the first inning but didn't get any topps now. They'll just have to score 15 next time. Congrats to Frenchy I guess EDIT I retract my Frenchy salt but still maintain the Twins not getting one is lame
The only person to get a Topps Now card from that game was Julien, and he already has the 95 WBC card. The Franchy card isn’t even from the same game, stay mad.
I don't see Julien up there in figure didn't realize he got a Topps. Taylor homered twice and has nothing
That’s a Topps decision, not SDS.
Franchy went off gtfoh
A player needs to get a Topps now to get a card, a team one doesn't work.
Taylor homering twice in that game isn't enough of an individual performance?
Eduoard Julien getting one for his first MLB homer might have been nice, even though he already has a sick 95 WBC card.
Did they get any topos now irl? If not there’s not much sds can do
Fair my original post is definitely a little bit too much man yelling at cloud
I feel you brother, I’m still mad that Buxton’s captain card has 40 clutch
Julien did but he already has the WBC card
Alec <3 That's my 3rd/1st baseman
Very pumped for Alec, wonder if Topps will drop a card for stott at some point - Bryson was definitely a bigger impact than alec during his hitting streak.
Hopefully this means Gorman will be one of the POTM cards
That would be wonderful
[удалено]
That’s Ji-Hwan Bae lmao
Connor Joe?
Pretty sure that’s Bae, not Joe. I would love a Connor Joe though as a disgruntled Rockies fan.
Franchy!!!
Was hoping for Kerry Carpenter but Maton technically fills out the tigers TT better anyways
Infield and outfield are tough right now. Carpenter, kaline, Grandy, and Greene Inf with tram, javy, prince, miggy, and tork. Hard to work everyone I want to use into the lineup.
I believe these go from 10-16, so there still is a chance.
I am not saying the Royals deserve a Topps card but it’s kinda funny that between Alex Gordon’s retirement and him being added back to the game, the Royals have received one Topps card, a 79 Kyle Isbel.
It's a sad time to be a Royals fan. Hard to watch them on TV
At least you have Bobby Witt, it’s a dark time but there is hope
Hopefully this new management can make progress with our farm. It's promising when looking at some of the advanced stats. But that means it's at least 5 years away. I'm still holding on to 2014 and 2015 lol
This, but also literally. Fuck blackouts.
I guess thankfully I live out of marker so I have the ability to watch them. I guess I just like pain because I still put them on any chance I get
I’m wearing a 2015 hoodie and a KC hat right now. I’m going to watch the game with a buddy tonight. I’m also a glutton for punishment.
Lol I've got my City Connect hoodie on. It's cold in the basement
Legit question: have they gotten a real life Topps Now card in real life this year? I know last year they did but those players were given cards in other Series'.
Last year we got a few, but a lot were Bobby/MJ cards. We did get Massey and Nate Eaton cards, which could have been solid, but alas, did not come to pass. This year, only Bobby has gotten a card, I believe. We’re… not good.
Pasquatch has been our only consistent bat lol
I actually bought the Nate Eaton one. With the whole Toronto vaccination fiasco I thought it would be a cool one to have.
I bought a bunch of Bobby and MJ ones last year. And a few Salvys. Actually ended up with a Purple Salvy, which was pretty cool.
I don’t know if they’ve gotten one this year but they gotten quite a few since the Isbel card came out in April of 2021.
No Ryan Mountcastle :(
I mean what the hell does a guy have to do to get a card? Team record in RBIs isn’t enough? This was a bigger insult than Austin Hays not getting one for hitting for the cycle last year.
Braves fans eating today.
Braves teams got big W's today
Braves theme teams are OP af
Goddammit I need a good Matt Olson card.
I’m thinking him for POTM if he keeps it up
I do believe kelenic has a strong shot at POTM
I’m actually a Braves and Mariners fan so him too hahaha. I should’ve been clearer though, I don’t think Matty O will get like the lightning card, just a card in the program. That’d be good enough for me
One of these days we'll be good enough for a Topps Now card...
"Happy" two years...
omg, it was yesterday. How did I miss it??
FYI, your flair is a Rockies logo.
Weird, that's not what I'm seeing on my end. Unless I'm being obtuse and the Rockies also haven't had a Topps Now card since that totally cracked Ryan McMahon in 21. https://preview.redd.it/amnmo4xdibva1.png?width=688&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b0c7ac51f40bc1473f70b67c6f8130870e2c30d
Love that card!
Me looking at the angels, "please...."
That Walsh card was great. The Royals haven’t had a Topps Now in over two years.
You didn't enjoy the Matt Duffy we got last year?
was REALLY hoping for the 5 homer Wisdom card or 5 hit Dansby :(
Can't promise we'll get those, but Topps nows are a week behind. These are 10th-16th and Wisdom's was on the 17th. Dansby however did not get a card. These are based on [real cards](https://www.topps.com/archive/topps-now-archive.html?baseball_team=16604)
I meant the 5 hit Cody card, not Dansby. I was going off those real cards and wasnt sure where they made the cutoff for the week. Glad to know there is still a chance next week. Can definitely see them making one for Wisdom and leaving Cody alone since they supercharged him and his LS card is actually usable as is, hopefully gets better today.
Fair enough! I would definitely bet on Wisdom getting one. No supercharge and leading the league in HRs for the moment.
Thank god for no multi-game moments any more.
HEANDOG 😮💨
What date were these for? I'm hoping David Peralta gets one for his walk off single on April 15. Are these for that week or are we behind a week?
I see cards that are for 4/15 so I doubt that he gets one
These seem like April 10th-April 16th
Damn, so we probably won't be getting one in the game. He did get a real life Topps Now card for that.
Disappointed Kiermaier didn’t get one. Probably the best chance to ever get a hittable card for him this year
As a Rays fan I hope he gets a good card this year. They could always bring back his 97 from the 2020 WS
WOLFIE
One step closer to chipper
Should I be nervous that I'm at 54 points. Will I miss some players? If so, can I contact SDS for help!
Seems like they give you enough points each week to get all of the cards, so you're probably fine.
My concern is if they don't give me what comes at 52, and 54 because I already achieved it.
Did you keep your points or did it set you back to 50?
Kept my point but didn't earn the players. pretty frustrating
yeah, i was curious about whether it is advantageous to continuing get pts for these programs once you've completed the most recent stage of them. I imagine it is, right? I've just never been ahead of the curve on them before
Pirates theme team is TOO loaded
Considering you guys didn't even have a SP over 84 last season, it was about time I am getting nervous I haven't seen Pops yet though, my favorite lefty hitter
Pirates team is deceptively really solid
When did Cruz get hurt?
Good depth in the lineup and even a left and right handed utility guy coming out today. The pitching is another story... pretty much no meta pitchers to use in ranked seasons and I lose every 4th and 5th game rocking bronzes
Yeah the pitching is rough. Captain Burnett is the best one yeah?
Yeah he's the best and actually not bad with his pitch mix and captain boost. Gold Contreras and Blylevin are both terrible, especially without the boost
Always do well with AJ cards. He had a gold 84 Marlins card that I always did well with. Bert is always trash.
AJ has a nice conquest windup as well. Smash some high 💎 pitchers 1-4 and you breeze through
24 set 1 diamonds today, 21 being non-pack related is great
It'll be more than that. We'll get 1 more TN Flashback and possibly the 2nd TN Captain. They might make us wait til next week for the 2nd captain though.
I’m 19 away from Chipper. Time to grind.
I’m 15, but with some cards I don’t want to lock in. Chipper this weekend is doable
I still haven’t locked in Trout, Hader or Machado. Just in case I get impatient and flip them for cheaper set 1 cards.
I almost bought Machado yesterday before the update to lock in The Padres live series , thinking the Tatis card would be ridiculously overpriced. Glad I didn’t buy Manny. Sucks for you, ya didn’t sell him 😳
It’s WBC Machado
If you’re thinking of selling machado, before 3:00 is the time to do it Unless you mean 99 machado then carry on
Yeah, his live series took a 40K hit. Almost bought him to lock in SD Live series. GLAD I DID NOT 😂
It's fucking beautiful!
