Thanks Rosie.
For the next add, process wise, I suggest you use less data. It's far too crowded. We don't need 2B, 3B, HR, RBI. What we do need, if you have the card viewer app, is the actual defensive numbers - mystery card defensive ratings are an average of multiple years, and are misleading for any particular year.

It's been nearly 3 months since the 18.2 card add results were given to SOM. That should have been more than enough time to add the 20 cards from 18.2, since most of the cards already existed and all that had to be done is to price the cards and add them to the online ATG set.

Does anyone have any idea when those cards will be issued?

Also, it's my understanding that the 2017 BSers final 4 managers have now all submitted their card choices. Will those 10 cards be issued with 18.2?

The BSers Finals ended in early May, 2018. The cards chosen by the BSers final 4 managers should be issued with 18.2, as SOM always drags its feet on the issuance of the new ATG cards, and there hasn't even been a vote on 18.3. With SOM being historically slow on the issuance of the new cards, we'll be lucky to have 18.3 by Halloween. There's no reason to wait that long for the issuance of the new cards chosen by the BSers 2017 final 4.

The barnstormer’s have made their picks? I haven’t heard Cristano’s five picks. Who are they?

The 18.2 cards are in the final stages of pricing. I do believe the cards already turned in from the BS finalists will be included.

It is a bit disconcerting that all the BS finalist cards aren't submitted, but I guess with the right to choose any card comes the right to submit them whenever you want.

Cristano sent me a message last week that he submitted his picks. Perhaps SOM is willing to provide an update as to the identity of the players selected.

1926 Johnny Mostil, CF, White Sox
1961 Vada Pinson, Reds
2000 Charles Johnson, C, White Sox
2007 Aaron Rowand, CF, Phillies
2009 Jason Bartlett, SS, Rays

Cristano's picks are sweet! GREAT job! Those are picks that help fill needs.

"1926 Johnny Mostil, CF, White Sox

GREAT picks for the most part!
Well needed players for the CWS/Phillies and Rays.
Great upgrades for Pinson and Mostil.

This process isn't that difficult.

Now adding them is another thing...
