Question for people that did the LS Collection.

@dbarmonstar_psn said in Question for people that did the LS Collection.:
So when you say one team at at time; do you sell every other card that isn’t that team in order to have stubs to complete the team you are on?
It's up to you. I keep all my non-dupes (even if I don't immediately lock them all in), because it's just more transactions, even if it would net me a couple hundred stubs here and there.
Not worth that extra hassle. YMMV.

Yes lock in ASAP. As the game goes on new LS cards are added and they are no where to be found. There were three cards last year that were MIA and they were common or bronze cards. Had bid orders for days. I won’t say the names I promise guys

No i mean focus on one team at a time. make sure you sell your dupes and id say go after the cheaper teams first, like the O's, Tigers and Pirates. then fill in after... the last team i got done last year was the red sox. never even used their live series reward.

Guys that rush to get LS done quickly, end up being bored with the reward cards, and sit them on the bench, or completely off their rosters within a few months.
I much prefer to play the game without spending money, earn all the free stubs and packs the game gives you, then chip away at the collection.
There is so much content available, you won't be hurting for other options. When you take into account the millions of stubs you'll be locking in for cards you may or may not enjoy using, it's not the smartest idea to lock in LS in my opinion.
I haven't faced a LS card in months, yet everyone has them locked in and they are now unsellable. No thanks

Not much anymore, once people (including me), got him prestiged, we moved on to other cards. Once Finest Dropped, we focused on them. That's the cool part of this game, it's ALWAYS adding new content and challenges.
I completed the LS collection this year, I got 99 Trout. I know that without the LS collection cards, 99 Trout would have been much more difficult.
I also pulled Trout 7 times, and got him twice out of the 90+ diamond choice packs. I don't expect to pull him again in the next decade, so I don't anticipate I'll complete the LS collections again this year.

League by LeagueThis. I try to go for cheap teams first, then get the big guys.
My Pirates should only cost about 2,500 stubs this year for the whole 40 man roster. I'll do them first.

If you're talking about later on down the line; yes.
But within the first few weeks of the game; I don't think they'll be less than 10-12K.

While you were attempting this; did you lock in a team once you got all their players so you couldn't have to worry about late additions and to obtain a little XP tight away or did you wait until you had every team completed and locked them in for a HUGE XP and Stubs windfall at once?
Knocked out the teams with no gold cards first, and locked them in, early for a variety of reasons. As far as locking them in early, I think I lost some TA points because I was past stage 1 when I finished some of the harder collections, so something to consider.

Since they're non diamond expect the silvers to be around 1500, 2000.

I know. By April 30th the entire team will be at Quick-Sell price

Please, please, please let this be the reward for the Pirates LS collection. It's fitting.

Last year was the first year I was ever able to collect all. It was just easier than in previous years. To be honest though, it’s not worth it IMO. You pay around 1.5 million stubs for 3 players basically and you may only want one of them. There are too many good players that it just doesn’t make sense to do it unless you just have the Stubbs lying around. I don’t do a lot of market work so the Stubbs I get is from playing and getting lucky pulls.
-
Knock out the cheap teams 1st And rely on luck. Once I pulled high diamonds. Or saved enough to purchase one pull the trigger and immediately do that team. If you ever pull Trout... don’t sell just go ahead and lock him in

But you're not paying 1.5 million for 3 players. In addition to those three, you also got Biggio, Sheffield, Mantle, the lesser Billy Wagner, plus a healthy amount of Awards Trout.

You're missing the XP and stubs earned through the rewards path. Mantle last season was 100% worth 1.5m.

My method is to choose which league reward I want first and lock in players from that league. I sell players from the other league to have stubs to spend.
