Finest season has been upon us for a couple of weeks now, and the latest program in MLB The Show 25 celebrates nostalgia in grand fashion.
While this program is simply labeled as "Finest Program" it's really celebrating the Retro Finest series. This year, Retro Finest didn't get its own collection tab but the card series is technically separate from the 2025 Finest series.

- Retro Finest:
- Justin Turner
- Gary Carter - #9 Catcher Meta Overall
- Paul Goldschmidt - #2 1B Meta Overall
- Gary Sheffield
- Andrew Miller - #6 RP Meta Overall
This is a relatively easy program that features some pretty solid rewards. There's a ton of 1B in the game already, so the fact that Retro Finest Paul Goldschmidt lands at #2 in Meta Overall is pretty relevant. Not only that, but Gary Sheffield is a beast at the plate and always a blast to hit with regardless of meta rankings.
Andrew Miller often sees his ultimate 99 overall cards be harder to obtain, so many of us that don't use him yearly get a pretty easy path to unlock what is typically one of the best lefty relievers in Diamond Dynasty.
Will any of these cards make your God Squad?
