About best cards under 25,000 stubs

The two constraints that actually decide a lineup, applied together: a rating floor and a price ceiling. Four hundred cards clear both, and the list is a far better starting point than either "best cards" or "cheap cards" on its own — because the cards that are only one of those are the ones you already know about.

What to watch here: The overlap between "rated highly" and "cheap" is where the market has not caught up yet. It is also the shortest-lived — this cut changes faster than any other on the site.

Every row carries the live buy-now price, the best sell order, the spread between them, and each card’s OpScore — our re-weighting of the attributes that actually decide at-bats, rather than the single headline number the in-game Overall reports. Click any card for its full price history, quirks and OpScore breakdown.

Prices come from the in-game marketplace and are re-polled continuously. Cards with no buy-now listing are excluded from this page rather than shown at zero stubs — nobody selling is not the same thing as free.

Common questions

How many best cards under 25,000 stubs are there in MLB The Show 26?

456 cards currently match this cut and carry a live buy-now price. This page shows the top 50 by price; the full set is filterable on the market page.

Why is a card missing from this list?

Two reasons. Either it does not match the cut, or it has no buy-now listing at all — cards nobody is selling are left out instead of being priced at zero. A card can also drop off within minutes of its last listing selling.

Are these prices live?

They come from the in-game marketplace, which we re-poll continuously. Signed out, this page serves them from a cache that can be up to five minutes old. Either way the “prices last fetched” stamp above the table is the real fetch time, not the time you loaded the page, so you can judge the age yourself rather than take our word for it.
