July Retro Lightning collection FAQ
What do eligible and required mean?
This collection accepts 16 eligible items, but you only need 13 to finish it. That means you can skip any 3 eligible items.
What does the estimated completion spend mean?
Sell Now selects the cheapest proven route. Buy Now reprices exactly the same selected cards and does not choose a second route. Import My Club to compare the collection with the cards you already own.
Where can I earn eligible cards?
The How to complete section groups known sources by program, prerequisite collection and game mode. Open a linked source for its requirements, or browse all MLB The Show programs and rewards.
How are Buy Now and Sell Now totals calculated?
The completion route is selected only by Sell Now economics, using the highest active buy order for each unique market card or its quick-sell floor when a sellable card has no buy order. Buy Now then uses the lowest active sell order to price those exact same cards for instant acquisition. Program and gameplay rewards can cost zero stubs, but collection rewards include the cost of reaching their verified milestone. Shared cards are charged once, and Buy Now never selects a second route.
