A couple of notes on the tasks for the July Monthly Awards Guide. For one, the Event will be live until July 11. MLB The Show players can use Core, Set 2 & 3 players, but it is on Hall of Fame difficulty. It’s tied to the Extreme Program.
Second, the Topps Now cards are optional for this program. However, those who have all the 95 OVR cards from the July Topps Now Program will have an easier time completing this one.
This program will not expire.
