The Vintage Program is one of those MLB The Show 26 grinds that looks small at first, then starts branching out once packs and collection pieces get involved. If you're trying to save time, or you're watching the market while spending MLB 26 stubs on missing cards, it helps to know exactly where the XP comes from before you start loading into games.

The program went live on May 29 alongside other content drops, including Old School Event and May Spotlight Drop 4. San Diego Studio hasn't locked in a clear end date, but programs like this often sit around for three to four weeks. That's not forever. You'll want to make steady progress early, because new events can pile up fast, and nobody enjoys chasing three separate grinds on the same weekend.

You'll pick up The Show Packs, a Ballin' is a Habit Pack, a Headliners Random Pack, a Deluxe Vintage Pack, 500 Stubs in total, and about 8,000 Game XP along the way. The player rewards matter too, not just for your squad but also because they feed into the wider Vintage Collection.
Missions that actually move the needle
There are 14 missions available, and together they're worth 150 program XP. You only need 100 XP to finish the reward path, so you've got room to skip a few awkward tasks if they don't fit how you play. The easier base missions ask for 31 hits, 18 strikeouts, 17 runs, 47 total bases, 6 homers, and 5 wins. Then the program pushes you toward Parallel XP: 2,000, 4,000, and 6,000 PXP with Vintage Series players, plus extra goals tied to Carlos Beltrán, Immortals items, and Jolt Series cards.
Unlocking Vintage Ketel Marte
Ketel Marte isn't handed out just for reaching 100 XP. He's tied to the Vintage Collection, which asks you to collect 25 Vintage Series cards. Some come from this program, while others will come from packs, previous drops, or the marketplace. Names in the set include Derek Jeter, Chase Utley, Larry Walker, Gary Sánchez, Joc Pederson, Gleyber Torres, Nolan Arenado, Xander Bogaerts, Josh Bell, Luis Arraez, Lou Gehrig, Michael Conforto, Matt Carpenter, and Ubaldo Jiménez. If you're short by only a few cards, check prices carefully instead of buying the first listing you see.
Best way to finish the grind
Don't treat each mission like a separate chore. Stack them. Put Vintage bats in your lineup, use pitchers who can rack up strikeouts, and play Conquest games while chasing hits, runs, total bases, and PXP at the same time. That's where the program starts to feel much lighter. If the marketplace is part of your plan, browsing MLB 26 stubs for sale can be part of your budgeting, but the smartest move is still earning as many free cards as possible before filling the last collection gaps.
