With the end game of MLB The Show 25 approaching, many of the Negro Leagues players in the game received 99 OVR versions in Diamond Dynasty. It came via a series of collections, which went live on October 31. Among the released cards included screwball master Rube Foster, Buck O’Neil, and Negro Leagues captain, Buck Leonard.
Negro League Collection cards
First off, here’s a look at all the 99 OVR Negro Leagues Collection cards in MLB The Show 25 and their attributes:
Buck Leonard
Monte Irvin
Rube Foster
Andy Cooper
Leroy Matlock
Hilton Smith
Bill Foster
Jose Mendez
Leon Day
Bullet Rogan
Rap Dixon
Turkey Stearnes
Buck O’Neill
It should be noted that not all Negro Leagues players in MLB The Show 25 are available via collections. Other players, like John Donaldson, Hank Thompson, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, and Martin Dihigo, have either previously-released 99 OVR cards or may very well be released in the future.
How to unlock keys
To get all of these cards, one will have to unlock a specific key for each one. Then, simply collect that key to get the corresponding 99 OVR card.
These “keys” are simply a lower-rated version of said player released in Diamond Dynasty. However, where each lower-rated player is located depends on the card. Here’s a look at the locations for each key:
| Player | How to get Key |
|---|---|
| Buck Leonard | Storylines |
| Monte Irvin | Storylines |
| Rube Foster | Jackie Robinson Day Program |
| Andy Cooper | Jackie Robinson Day Program |
| Leroy Matlock | Storylines |
| Hilton Smith | Conquest |
| Bill Foster | Jackie Robinson Showdown |
| Jose Mendez | Jackie Robinson Showdown |
| Leon Day | Jackie Robinson Day Program |
| Bullet Rogan | Storylines |
| Rap Dixon | Jackie Robinson Day Program |
| Turkey Stearnes | Storylines |
| Buck O’Neill | Jackie Robinson Showdown |
Some of these cards are found in Storylines. Others are in the Jackie Robinson Day Program that released way back in April.
There are also a few in the Jackie Robinson Day Program Showdown, which include Choice Packs that have the aforementioned cards. Lastly, one card — the 87 OVR Hilton Smith — is in the 42 Conquest map.
