The 2026 Finest Elly De La Cruz collection unlocks a 99 overall switch-hitting shortstop when you collect 32 of 35 eligible entries. The checklist mixes 23 series vouchers and 12 specific player cards, so you have three skips to work with.
Quick answer: Count the vouchers and exact cards you already own before locking anything in. The 55-card 2026 Finest voucher fills one slot, and you can leave it out if you can reach 32 with other entries.

With all 23 vouchers, you still need at least nine of the listed player cards. With all 12 player cards, you need at least 20 vouchers. Each missing entry uses one of the same three skips.
The card version matters. Both Mickey Mantles below are eligible and fill separate slots. A different version of the same player only helps if it appears on the checklist.
- Cody Bellinger (2026 All-Star)
- William Contreras (2026 Postseason)
- Mickey Mantle (Cityscapes)
- Mickey Mantle (Moonshot)
- José Ramírez (Mural)
- Adley Rutschman (New Threads)
- Bo Bichette (New Threads)
- Jesús Made (Pipeline)
- Konnor Griffin (Spring Breakout)
- Tarik Skubal (Summer)
- Ketel Marte (Vintage)
- Maikel Garcia (World Baseball Classic)
Can you earn the 2026 Finest voucher before Elly?
Yes. Collect 55 cards from the 2026 Finest series checklist. The full list shows 67 cards, including the Elly you are trying to unlock. That leaves 66 cards available before Elly, so you can skip 11 of those and still earn the voucher.
The three Finest programs give you 33 fixed eligible cards, 11 from each. Finish the Pete Crow-Armstrong, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Yordan Alvarez paths and you need 22 more cards before counting any of your pack picks. The programs' choice packs can close part of that gap. The official Finest release notes also list Choice Pack 1 in Finest Mini Seasons, Choice Pack 2 in the Finest Event, and Choice Pack 3 on the Finest Conquest map.
Check the voucher name when you turn it in. 2026 Finest and Finest are two separate checklist entries.
Two other vouchers to check first
- 2026 Topps Update Series Baseball takes 12 of 13 cards.
- Spooky takes 12 of 26 cards.
The three Topps Update programs each reward four cards that count toward the voucher. Finish Black Gold, Heavy Lumber, and Autumn Ascensions and those 12 cards are enough to earn it without buying a card. For Spooky, check the eligible list against the cards you already earned during the drop. You can leave 14 of the 26 out.
Start with completed series sets and direct card rewards you already own. Compare your remaining voucher paths before spending Stubs on 2026 Finest. Every card you lock into a collection becomes No Sell, and finishing a voucher you plan to skip ties up cards without getting you closer to Elly.
