2014 Set: A Few Changes

I hope that everyone has had a great holiday season!  As I sit here watching the NFL playoff picture clear up, I am even more excited about the release of the 2014 MLB Showdown set.  I have reviewed all of the cards and hope to have eliminated all typos, and all cards are ready to be printed and shipped.  If you are interested in a set, please contact @MLBShowdownGuru by email at redsoxman2011@gmail.com.

I also wanted to point out a few of the changes minor style changes we have made in the design of the card.  Below I will compare the 2014 Albert Pujols with the 2013 Albert Pujols.

MLB Showdown 2014: Assembling 

All the players have been picked, All the charts are made. Players are pointed. They are set in stone. Which means 1 thing... @Roktikitiki will find nearly two dozen instances where I left a number off a chart when transferring from one form to another. Since none of you actually care at the moment about the messages I get from him about how we don't know if the 15 is supposed to be a single or a double on some 6 OB corner outfielder I will talk about the fun part. The cards and set should be done by the end of the month. Sadly we won't be done in time to print and ship for Christmas/Hanuka/Winter Holiday; however, shortly after that we should be ready to go. For information on the E-mail Redsoxman2011@gmail.com. We do have 2000/2001 booster boxes and 2000 starter boxes in case that is useful to anyone. E-mail us again for those.

The next big thing we have is to set a blog schedule. We will be posting that probably sometime at the end of January. Please use this post, our twitters: @MLBShowdownguru @Roktikitiki, @BucNforthecard or the above e-mail to send us suggestions on content you would like to see.
