We're each emphasizing a different side of the same coin. They are in the business of selling cards, and they are now denied what they could have done in 1969 when Larry Miller might have been a filler to match the quota of Orioles needed in the third series because they were holding back Mike Cuellar to the fifth series with the intent of photographing him in spring training that year.

In other words, not only do they need to include Cespedes but if they said "he's unsigned, hold off, put Brandon Nimmo in there instead" - they wouldn't be able to because he (presumably) won't have already been a big leaguer by the time the 2016 set comes out.
