Biggest overspend from March
-
Nothing outrageous. I completed the Phillies collection after pulling Harper & Realmuto. Nola was the biggest bill at 1051.
Other than that ...77 stubs on a daily mission for Oswalt when I eventually ended up with over 600* that inning?
-
I bought Sale for 45k or so. I don't want to look back because I will see all of the Postseason cards that I was using for TA exchanges when they were 5k and then jumped up when Trout came out. I wish I had a few of those set aside for another TA when Trout came out. This is my first year playing the game, and the market has been an interesting thing to watch and learn. Of course it was a season unlike any other so things will probably be completely different next year.
-
No big ones this year, but in 17 I spent 70k on Cespedes only for him to go gold 2 days later
-
Aroldis Chapman for 25k (he's going for 5k now)
-
Bought Jose Ramirez for 15.5k which I believe was gold at the time.

WOW. That is INSANE! Did people think he was going diamond?

First week or so it’s not uncommon for high golds to be around 10k. There just isn’t a lot out there at first.
-
304k for LS Trout. I Paid 29950 for Lindor in May. Yeah, I paid a premium for lots of LS diamonds early on.
-
It wasn’t March, but shortly after the Headliner pack came out I paid approximately 70k for AS Miggy Cabrera because I needed him for a league I was in.
I’m not even in that league anymore so it hurts a little worse. Haha
-
Don't remember when but I must have flipped 84 Boggs 50 times when it was around 3000. Going for 30,000 now

everyone who bought Belli when he was a 90+ diamond hates this thread
You could say the same for Scherzer and Arenado too but it really depends when they were bought. If it was right before the drop I understand but paying an extra 100k each for those 3 for 4 more months of Mantle/Sheffield is worth it IMO
-
I don't see any with a quick scan, but I did pull and sell two Acuna's for 59K each on the 13th of March.
-
The first diamond I pulled I sold right away Acuna on March 28th for like 48k and used those funds to flip commons and bronzes for a few days and used that to buy Springer 11k and Altuve 12k (overprice now) and I also bought Verlander 41k (heck of a bargain then and now). I finished up the Astros for Ryan (crappy card) but kept flipping till I bought everyone and got Mantle. I paid 150k for Cole and 130k for Bellinger also paid 100k for Arenado and 68 for Degrom and 100k or so for strasburg LS. I paid 220k for Trout and was a bargain at the time. I used those cards to win games and got quite a few WS award cards and Event cards and several 12-1, 12-0 event diamonds so they paid for themselves during the game cycle. I own every card that can be bought on the market and still have millions of stubs left over. The key is to never buy packs rather flip cards and buy the ones you want. Always have stubs to invest to build up your capital. Take advantage of people who buy packs during flash sales and tank the market. That is when you buy then sell once demand goes back up. Likewise sell when demand is high and buy when demand is low. Pretty easy if you are patient.

Go back to your very first few pages of completed orders. What is one purchase that stands out as egregiously bad?
I'll go first.
Ketel Marte Bought for 30,008 3/17/2020 7:49PM PDT
Why do you do hurtful things schnauz?
-
I just went through 52 pages of completed orders that went from 3/12-4/2 and i only had 1 completed order for a card over 1,000 stubs and that was Kluber for 3,200. I feel like I wasted a lot of time to find nothing interesting lol

I have a few.
Overpaid:
Pete Alonso: 16,995 4/5/2020 4:26PM CDTWhere I sold for too little:
Shane Bieber Sold for 2,015 4/12/2020 5:53PM CDT
Adam Dunn Sold for 3,722 5/9/2020 3:09PM CDTSold for too much, which is good: J.D. Martinez Sold for 2,870 4/27/2020 5:21PM CDT
Jack Flaherty Sold for 19,560 5/9/2020 3:42PM CDTI might've bought that Flaherty
Wait, are you serious? Look at the time stamp. That would be really funny! I mean, I am sure that if everyone showed their completed orders, we have sold to each other quite often.
IDEA: What if, when you sold or bought something, it would say: "Mike Trout was bought from @Ikasnu for 4958302 stubs. (Then the timestamp)"
Same idea for selling something, say who bought it. That would be fun to see if we know who we are buying/selling from. Thoughts?i bought my Flaherty on the same day but at a different time and slighty different price. I spent 17k
-
Charlie Morton for 12.600 .He was diamond back then.
-
Gerrit Cole 112k
-
Sold 12-0 Donaldson for 500k. Annnnd bought 800 packs with the stubs I had afterwards
