I dont think those stimulus checks are meant to pay 2 win in this game
I wouldn't know. I don't qualify for a stimulus check. Biden's new tax plan sure does suxor though.
Can't believe I missed this thread yesterday. Flexers, NMS jelly guys, guys with no money that think they have it, people saying they are NMS but actually do. It's like a buffet.
Back to the original question. This year, the number was $1100. I have a custom league obligation and had some very early expensive cards I wanted to groove with. TBH, it could be done for under $900 or done with NMS if you play the market all day every day.
In the end, it doesn't matter though.
Regarding the flexing though. Siesta Key and Aston Martins don't impress me. especially on a message board. Want to impress me? Show me a picture of you donating $10k to a local food bank, writing a tip for $5k at a local restaurant, or slapping down your AMEX black at the jewelry store to pay for a strangers engagement ring that he was talking to the salesperson about a layaway plan. Saw the article about Shaq. The man knows what's up.
This is kinda what I was trying to say earlier without trying to sound like I was virtue signaling. I'd much rather spend my money on something important rather than a video game that means nothing.

Collections are behind a paywall. You can grind this game all you want but your not beating someone with Chipper and the rest of those annoying (censored) unless the guy your playing sucks.

See I respectfully disagree. Who's to judge what people do with their money? Dropping $2k a year on this game brings me joy. I've been making money for 30 years. Nobody except my wife is allowed to judge me on what I do with it.
When you go out to a bar, you are spending 3-5 times more on a drink than if you had it at home. Going to a game that you could watch on TV. Same thing.
It doesn't and should never matter what internet strangers do with their own cash regarding stubs. TBH, if people didn't buy stubs, you'd have no market.
It's all useless flexing, arguing and banter.
One thing everybody on all sides can agree on. Money can't buy you time. I spend $ when I don't have time. Why? Because I want the cards. It's my game and I'll play within the parameters offered.

Oh I also live on Siesta Key though if you really want to get into finances
Not my fight, but your narcissism is showing. Literally no one would be offended by a finance comment, except a narcissist who thinks money defines human status.
Sorry man, that's tough, but it's not your fault. Mom didn't love you, but others do. I'm available if you want to chat, as you said. But the truth is, you are ASKING someone to help you. Signed, a Ph.D Psychiatrist that deals with your type daily.
Use that cash to get help, we love your money
Dude if you're a PHD then I'm a leprechaun. GTFOH with that. You might be one of the biggest tools on here.. This whole post is so sad and cringe all the way through...

Astin Martin
Would be a waste of money regardless of how much you have... go for it.
I could say the same about those ugly shoes you wear too but it ain't my business
what shoes?

Tbh i really dont care if people already have chipper. Most of the time the people that pay for their whole teams are usually garbage. The one thing I will say is if you have the best possible team from so early on where is the challenge. But to each their own

I don’t give a sht what y’all do with your money. Rent a midget riding a donkey for all I care I will still think it’s stupid af though

I don't understand why leople care so much about this kind of thing. Some of you trying to call people out for spending money on a video game prob buy cigarettes and beer regularly. Like people don't spend their money in silly ways sometimes. Perfect example... I bought a new firearm last weekend and my neighbor sat there smoking a cigarette that costs $11 a pack trying to tell me i was silly for spending $1200 on a gun... Don't judge what people do with their money. You don't know their lives

Not trying to be argumentative here. I am really trying to understand.
Why is it stupid?
Stupid is such a blind term regarding this because you are passing judgement on what somebody else is doing.
Whether I make $25k, $100k, $500k or am retired. Why is it stupid?

It’s a midget donkey too and he’s wearing a cowboy outfit

Exactly. To me, the fun of DD is building your team from rewards and random packs and doing the best you can with what you have. If I bought my team I would have no reason to keep playing the mode - I would have "beat it" so to speak.
However, like you said, to each their own I guess. -
have AL completed & started NL East - no other NL collections done, but have DeGrom & Freeman. Don't use a cap so no equipment there. Haven't spent a dime. Got lucky with a few pulls (DeGrom & Cole & several lower diamonds), but mostly just working the market and grinding showdown

How stable is the marketplace and how fast do the top cards depreciate in value

You good man. Not passing judgement on ppl but the idea Itself is stupid to me. I grew up playing all types of video games and never had to spend another dime to enjoy now all these games make you feel like you have to spend money. If I took that 1500$ and bought all McDonald’s today some ppl would think I’m an idiot but some ppl would think I’m awesome. Games like Fortnite are the worst, wearing a 20$ taco skin will not make me play any better

Its all about what content is dropping and when. Most diamonds will lose alot of their value as more cards are released. If you're waiting to finish collections, I would maybe buy the most expensive cards now and buy the rest when they drop to 10kish depending on the card

How about Trout, just pulled him and don't know if I should sell him and make a nice team
-
I've completed the Free Agents, AL East, AL Central, and a handful of teams in the AL West (A's, Mariners, Rangers), NL Central (Pirates, Reds). All other teams are between 20-30. I pre-odered the Legends edition and have bought stubs twice for the weekly Space Man packs. So maybe $100 after the cost of Legends editions. My son created a CAP but we haven't spent anything on him yet. I've yet to pack Trout, Acuna or Degrom.

However, like you said, to each their own I guess.I'm on the same page as you man. Every year once I feel like I have my god squad and I am happy with it I lose motivation
