I recently stumbled across this article where the Korean Baseball Organization put out their list of the Top 40 players of league history (it's the 40th anniversary of the league this year). I know almost nothing about Korean baseball, but I thought the artwork was too well done (regrettably, I haven't been able to find who the artist is to credit them yet), and fit the Showdown cards too well to not make a fun little mini set.
Defensive stats are non-existent (or at least I wasn't able to find any) so I basically gave them great defense if they won the Gold Glove that season. Although, I learned rather late in the game that the Golden Glove Award in Korea is more equivalent to NPB's Best 9 (best player at each position) rather than the MLB Gold Glove which only awards defense (although we know that's not always true). Anyway, I wasn't too concerned about defense for this mini set, just something to bear in mind.
I think they turned out really fun and there are a few players with MLB and/or NPB experience so there may be a few familiar names and faces.

Eurobasket 2022
For me basketball is my favorite season, and since the season ended I spend more time thinking about the upcoming season. I started watching the Eurobasket as multiple of my favorite players are participating in this tournament. So as I kept getting more locked in to this incredible tournament, and making cards, I thought I should honor these players in showdown form. So I made cards of the NBA players that are participating in the Eurobasket. As a basketball fan I highly recommend to any of you with an ESPN plus subscription and some free time to watch some games to tune in when you have a chance.
