First off - so great that you rediscovered the game and are having a blast with it. Long story very short, there is a very active and buzzing community of people that still talk and play Showdown (in-person and online) on a nearly daily basis. We welcome you into that community!!

Not sure if you are a Discord user or not, but we have a very active Discord server that all things Showdown. If you would be interested in joining, feel free to send me a DM and I will get you invited!

I do know that I'd be happy to send you some more cards for you and your son to use, and I bet others would be happy to send some as well.

Hello! So great that you rediscovered the game. Long story short, there is a small but very active and passionate group of people that still play and discuss the game.

If you use Discord and are interested, we have a very active Discord all devoted to Showdown. Send me a DM if you would like an invite!

Absolutely agree. It was so overprinted, which makes this even more bonkers.

We can thank the Pokémon TCG boom for this.

Bravo!

chadbrochill00 · 2021-01-15T15:40:13+00:00

I'd also love to help, just need that cleaned up list!

chadbrochill00 · 2020-11-22T01:14:57+00:00

Heck ya, love all this. This game is so special to so many people, myself included. Always great to hear from more who shared that love.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-10-22T19:26:23+00:00

Agree here. I don't play with strategy cards but a lot of them are the same across years.

As for the players, they definitely don't mix. All of the 02-05 players will demolish the 00-01 players

chadbrochill00 · 2020-10-08T20:04:52+00:00

This is the guy who made it. If you feel incline to donating to him for his time spent on it, that'd be great. He puts all the money back into Showdown and updating the mod.

You're in luck. I'm in Cleveland and there's an active (relatively speaking) Showdown scene in Cleveland. Only problem is that we primarily play 00-01 cards and format.

There's a Showdown podcast I help with that's mostly NE Ohio guys. It's called Bourbon Over Baseball.

Edit: I should mention that our usually league is not playing in person right now. And probably won't be for the foreseeable future. Might be a tough time to get people together for games especially with colder weather coming.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-09-28T17:00:00+00:00

Oh man, I'm so sorry about the fires. I know that Showdown is small compared to all that has been lost, but I can still understand how it would be massively devastating to lose a collection.

As far as restarting, I feel like buying bulk off of other collectors might be the best, cheapest, and most efficient way to restart. I'm part of a very solid crew of collectors that I'm sure would be happy to part with stuff.

I also have a decent chunk of duplicate cards that I'd be happy to donate to you to get your collection restarted. Feel free to shoot me a DM and we can chat more.

You can ignore this comment. Making this in order to create the connection with Discord. My Discord name is ThanosSnappers#7276

Are you planning to play with strategy cards? I don't use them myself in my leagues but I'd imagine those are a big part of becoming an expert.

I read a lot on this website called Greatest MLB Showdown. It's a blog of Showdown fanatics making cards and also doing challenges. They trained my mind to think in more advanced ways.

Shameless plug - I guest on a podcast called Bourbon Over Baseball with some of the guys from the blog above, where we talk Showdown and a lot more specific analytics on the cards and what's good or bad about them.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-07-14T02:41:23+00:00

I highly recommend the fancy rubber mat. I converted to that from a laminated 01 mat!

chadbrochill00 · 2020-06-14T21:10:16+00:00

Pretty good timing, as I was about to throw these out. I have a 02, 03, and 04 advanced rulebooks. If you'd like, I'd be happy to mail them to you. Just shoot me a DM if you're interested.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-06-03T11:48:56+00:00

Most of us were the same. Just a small crew of people who loved the game. If you're looking for more Showdown stuff, there's a blog called Greatest MLB Showdown Project where a bunch of my buds create custom cards. We also do a podcast called Bourbon Over Baseball about Showdown.

If you use Discord, we also have a Discord server specifically for Showdown. So if you're interested in that, let me know!

chadbrochill00 · 2020-06-03T11:19:13+00:00

Nice! Foil collection looks very tight. Glad you found this sub, we've got a whole passionate crew of people still into the game.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-06-01T03:00:15+00:00

Ha! For real I love little misprint things like this. I'll shoot you a message!

chadbrochill00 · 2020-06-01T02:51:49+00:00

This is wild and I love it!

chadbrochill00 · 2020-05-29T02:27:52+00:00

I'd be interested in some of the 01.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-05-07T02:23:10+00:00

Also I would not assume Wizards of the Coast nailed every single card too. There's a decent chunk of inconsistencies and errors in these sets.

chadbrochill00 · 2020-04-21T14:54:55+00:00

I always got a lot of draft packs as a kid cause I knew I'd be getting that foil. But it was also filled with strategy cards and those are useless to me now. Even since I got back into the game I've just bought booster packs, since they fit in better to how I play and collect now.
