Understanding Exchange Values in MLB The Show

If you’re grinding collections in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty, understanding exchange values can be the difference between wasting Stubs and pulling off an efficient, no-money-spent power move. Whether you're trying to finish programs faster or unload your binder’s Bronze bloat, here's a breakdown of how exchange values work — and how to maximize your returns.

What Are Exchange Values?

Exchange values in MLB The Show are point-based values assigned to player cards based on their overall rating. These points are used in Exchange Missions to turn low-tier cards into higher-tier ones (Bronze → Silver, Silver → Gold, Gold → Diamond) and perhaps more often, to complete Exchange missions to progress in Programs like Team Affinity.

Each overall rating has a fixed point total. For example, a 70 overall player is worth 651 points, while a 90 overall brings a hefty 75,926 points to the table. To complete an exchange set, you'll need to hit a certain threshold outlined in the exchange task itself.

If a 99 overall and 91 overall card both have the same exchange value, there's no reason to buy the pricier card to exchange. Remember: you lose the card when it's exchanged. So only exchange cards when cost efficient!
