Do not listen to streamers regarding collections

Agreed. Many of the streams are indirectly just sales and marketing for SDS. SDS is good at generating content, which drives sales. Fixing bugs....SDS isn't good at.

Honestly a lot are a joke.. I remember a guy last year saying he made $300k stubs on one evening of flipping. Yah that’s bogus
I did that a few times, the Topps Now cards when Tatis was going to be the collection card moved fast and loose... during busy times I was hitting 50k an hour. One day I just flipped Chapmans and Sale's live cards to the tune of 2-3k profit each flip.

I haven't heard a streamer say sell Cabrera now. The idea is to earn him now, sell him later.
At the end of last year, many of the event cards were selling for a million stubs. They aren't wrong, but it's a long game.

I wouldn't want to complete all of the live series collections this early. It's more fun for me to grind.
I'll probably be able to complete the collections some time in the fall like i do every year. Ive never spent a penny on the game, after the initial digital deluxe purchase, but have been able to complete the collections the last three years by just playing a lot. It just takes time and it should.

It's actually possible. But just as in real life, it takes stubs to make stubs
When they released the stage 4 TA last year, I made 2 million stubs in 3 days flipping gold live series cards. It’s very possible but right now gaps are too tight to make any real money flipping cards.
I agree on the gaps right now. They tightened up substantially as soon as the regular release of the game. As I mentioned it was certainly not hard to do during early access.

I’ll never understand why people feel the need to lie. It’s like the guy who told me he could do the 1st inning showdown in 30 minutes and complete all missions. It’s a lie.
Uh that's not lying.. I think the most it's taken me to do the 1st inning showdown was 40 minutes..

Funny how when I told you to do that last year you laughed at me and said I was way off base lol

Go for highest stub count first.. Trout should be your first purchase on the market if you want to complete live series collections efficiently without buying stubs
-
Can’t hit with chipper anyway so I’m not doing LS collections. Went 12-1 in br and got cole, Wagner, and Ramirez along the way. I did collections the last two years and regretted it and waited till too long to start RA. Got an 88 ovr team which is the minimum ovr required to make ws and I only invest in guys I can play with.
-
Plus that Cabrera card will balloon in price if they do some other collection later in the year

@solidsnake_222 said in Do not listen to streamers regarding collections:
I finished collections no money spent and don't fall into any of the categories you mentioned. God bless the RTTS sim glitch.
I just saw a video about that. No way could I do that for that long. I really want to but I just couldn't do it lol.

I don't know what Konerko's stats are
You just made another mistake streamers make. Calling attributes, stats.

@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Do not listen to streamers regarding collections:
I have heard several streamers telling their people to sell certain cards like Cabrera to do collections. The only people that have collections done are:
people that spent money
flipped cards on the market
got extremely lucky with pulls
great players that win 12 games in BR and eventsLets be real, This is not most of us and if you haven't done these things, you are not close to collections. I have played this game a ton. Did all TA's, last BR with a 9 win reward, 60 event wins, 18 RS games and out of probably 3-400 show, ballin and TA packs I pulled 3 diamonds worth 50k. I have bought some live series cards but not even completed one division. I'm not mad, this is just how it is. At this rate it would take forever to do collections and frankly by the time I get them done there will be 1st baseman on par with Ortiz.
So why grind 40 event wins for Cabrera and sell him for say 1/3rd of Acuna's price tag? Think of it this way, at Cabrera's current price you would have to play this event 7 different times just to be able to afford Trout. Wouldn't your RS team be better with Cabrera, 90 Donaldson, etc rather than paying them stubs to Judge?
I really started thinking of this after selling Donaldson, Lofton and Cabrera. Those 3 cards could get me Mookie. My RS team would be better with those 3 than a Mookie card.
Just a food for thought thread because I think the majority of people playing are in a similar boat to me and are far away from completing collections.
Other than just paying for the higher level last year, I didn't spend a dime. I got the Live series and the big collection done last year. Finished the season with 3 million in stubs.

No its not! U can make alot of stubs by flipping! Not that hard.. just takes time
-
I mean, yeah, you can sell your event rewards like Miggy and get a few collections done since he's got a decent price on him. I'd personally wait to see if these rewards spike like last year's, personally, but if you need stubs now then sure.
A lot of the no money spent guys get good diamond pulls, spend their stubs sparingly and have a good enough skill level in the game to make a World Series run (plus 40 wins) as well as good BR runs (plus finishing the program). Technically, it's no money spent but there's definitely some luck, skill and patience involved. That doesn't make the NMS grind BS at all, but it's not as easy for some people. I plan on grinding a NMS spent account on XBox once I finish a few things on my PS4 account and I think the collection rewards are my main goal.

Except it’s not. I made around that much on launch week flipping equipment until SDS decided to screw me with stealing my stubs with their BS buy order glitch.

I think it’s more of a long run game. The beauty of DD is there’s many ways to build a team !!! I like collecting so I’m almost phone with LS collection.

I made 100-150K flipping on the market today, and the margins suck this early in the year. 300k in a night was definitely possible later in 20's lifecycle. I bought the game on November 20th and flipped my way to Mantle by November 25th.

Well it is possible but I’d have to say it depends when.. I had 75 Buxtons before the update. I bought the deluxe edition and put $100 in for stubs to get started. Worked my way up to about 550k in stubs. Then invested almost everything in him. Now I sit just under 1.3m. It’s possible for anyone to make stubs but it gets tougher as the year goes on. The best times to take advantage of making stubs is in the first week of the release and the first, maybe second roster update of the year. As time goes on watch trends week to weekend. Pay attention to what’s going on IRL baseball and watch a players WAR rating.

It's not, I've done it. It has been harder this year, but you will be able to make mad stubbs once there is a collection reward or rewards.
