What’s your goal for the game? I completed the LS collections last week and gives me a feeling of “beating the game”! Considering the reward for playing stubs what else are you planning to do with them if not the collections. Completing the collections rewards you with a lot of stubs and Xp, so its not like you won’t be able to still get the players you want not involved in collections. So keep him for sure!
I agree with this 100%. But, I would probably sell. I want to do the collections, but I don’t mind “beating the game” in October when it’s a lot cheaper (hopefully).

Keep him
-
I can't see anyone being better than Mantle. He's almost maxed speed, fielding and hitting... and switch hits.
Mays, Ruth, Honus, Ted, Griffey, Pujols... None of those guys check every box.
Even a 99 Chipper can't run or field -

Would you sell or use in collection for Mantle? In my opinion I have faced Mantle plenty of times and he isn’t worth all the time and stubs to collect him especially with new players coming out all the time. The players that absolutely shred against me off the top of my head are Didi, Lofton, Chipper, and Biggio.
I would sell him but only because i already got Trout. I have no real need for Mantle at this point though as i love my outfield of Kemp/Trout and Jackson (i love his bat)
When i get Mantle i'm moving Jackson to my bench.
-
He's the last card I need, so I would keep him. He gives access to Wagner (the best lefty reliever in the game until last night), Biggio and Mantle, +35000 stubs and loads of xp.
-
If I can collect all the AL West and get Wagner I would keep it. If I can’t I will sell him and wait for the elite ducks in the pond to drop a bit to get Ernie/Chapman
-
I kept him and am also not trying to complete the collections. He leads my team in HRs and is one of my best hitters, that's why I won't sell him.
-
I sold the first 3, finally decided it was time and locked in the 4th one. Also Mickey is 100% worth the time and stubs and still the #1 player in the game and will he for a while longer.

No real baseball got me itching to get it done quick this year! Smarter to wait until cheap, but Mantle is the man!

I pulled Trout out of the 90+ prestige pack at 45 today. Felt great. My luck has been terrible all year. After tax it was like 256k.
-
Oh and Mantle is great. I have him at Prestige. He’s worth the stubs. Plus he’s Mickey ****ing Mantle man.

It's 39/40k . 1k each for collecting to prestige( non sellable so why not) and 2500 for Mantle's prestige mission,done just by collecting, not sure biggio but think it's also 2500.
-
I would sell him. I kinda regret doing the collections since I don’t think I’m gonna get Mickey mantle
-
Im selling and turning what I made into 5 times that amount and getting Mantle. That's my endgame. It's all about choices, right, wrong or indifferent.
-
Yup. Sell ASAP. Sold mine when he inflated during the stub sale. took @Ikasnu's advice and invested about 260k of it.
For stage 3 TAs. -

For stage 3 TAs.Y'all are going to crucify me if they for whatever reason stray away from the exchanges lol. I'd be poor as heck, almost 250k sunk in.

NO WAY they do that now. Lmao I got my fingers crossed at least. Thankfully it wouldn't be too much of a loss. Huge time sink more than anything. Sitting on over 350k now after this last market crash. Just sweating on them to stark leaking stage 3s.

When it drops you'll have to let me know how much you made.

I have been going through this as I close in on finishing off the tops guys in LS. Of course he isnt worth it, and neither is Mantle, Biggio and Sheffield. There are so many other cards you could get for the prices of the top LS diamonds. And so many other cards to come that you could use those stubs on and have a better team. But the honest truth is. There is just something about completing the LS collection and getting those guys that is impossible to not do if you have the chance. All these FB's and legends, and this year FS's and Prospects have tons of cards you can get for those prices and build a much better team, but there is something about the LS collection every year that makes it have to be done.
You do realize that there are people out there such as myself that don’t spend a penny outside of the initial game buy. I do the collections every year and get the collection bosses every year without spending a dime because I’m patient and use my stubs wisely. Also knowing how to manipulate the market and understanding how to flip cards helps with stub accruals. Currently I’m about 400k stubs needed to complete the LS collections and will have that done by the end of the month. Not sure why people on here are so quick to say it’s not worth it. If done properly the collection are worth it because with patience you don’t have to spend a single penny to accomplish it.
