I didn't have this on my MLB The Show 26 bingo card:
SDS just released a new Thank You pack that features each featured Chase Pack player from packs 1-22. This feels so surprising since the marketplace has been so expensive this year. The Live Series collection is still prohibitively expensive, with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani having absurdly expensive cards that aren't even usable at this point in the year. This Thank You Pack should have a positive effect across the board, in addition to just being a very cool reward for anyone still playing.
The featured cards in this choice pack are:
- Stan Musial, LF STL (99 OVR Milestone)
- Adrian Beltre, 3B BOS (99 OVR Awards)
- Billy Wagner, CP PHI (99 OVR Finest)
- Willie McGee, CF STL (99 OVR Awards)
- Byron Buxton, CF MIN (99 OVR 2026 All-Star)
- Geraldo Perdomo, SS AZ (99 OVR Awards)
- Bryce Harper, 1B PHI (98 OVR Milestone)
- Cal Raleigh, C SEA (98 OVR Summer)
- Lance Berkman, RF STL (97 OVR Postseason)
- Al Leiter, SP NYM (97 OVR Signature)
- Derek Jeter, SS NYY (96 OVR Vintage)
- Ted Simmons, C STL (96 OVR Prime)
- Carlos Santana, 1B CLE (95 OVR Mural)
- Ken Griffey Jr., CF SEA (95 OVR All-Star)
- Aroldis Chapman, CP BOS (94 OVR Cityscapes)
- Craig Biggio, 2B HOU (94 OVR Awards)
- Giancarlo Stanton, RF NYY (93 OVR Postseason)
- Cody Bellinger, CF CHC (93 OVR Awards)
- Mookie Betts, SS LAD (92 OVR Egg Hunt)
- Ted Williams, LF BOS (92 OVR All-Star)
- Adley Rutschman, C BAL (91 OVR All-Star)
- Julio Rodriguez, CF SEA (91 OVR World Baseball Classic)
Top Suggestions
Keeping in mind that your optimal choice depends on your current collection progress and your desire to work on collections, if any. If you aren't really close to a major collection reward, then picking the best fit for your team is the sole focus since you can't sell your pick. This list is presented in no particular order.
Stan Musial holds the highest True Overall ranking out of the cards featured in this pack. The offensive attributes on this Musial are Elite+ tier, with decent enough Field and Speed to make him playable in the outfield.
My personal choice was Adrian Beltre. He has a sweet swing, the sickest no-doubt homer animation, and is just an all-around fun card to use. I lamented this being a Chase card because it looks so nasty, and I'm stoked that I can add him to my squad for free now.
A card I was fortunate enough to pull and that has quickly become one of my favorite cards of all time. Elite Contact/Clutch, surprising pop despite the lowish Power attributes, and Diamond Fielding with 99 Speed and Stealing. Did I mention he's a switch-hitter? Willie McGee rules.
Disclaimer: I've never used a Geraldo Perdomo card. However, this is a switch-hitting shortstop who is just solidly well-rounded at everything except the Speed department. I've seen quite a few people rave about the card, so he definitely earns a shoutout simply on word of mouth alone.
Closing Thoughts
A very cool gesture from SDS that definitely improved my team. I'm jazzed to add Beltre at no cost, and despite the cards being no-sell, it might even give me a chance to scoop some of the others if they maintain a drop in value at all.
The Thank You Pack is only available to redeem in the Show Shop until August 31, so be sure you to grab it while you can!
