Anyone else a little annoyed by collections this year?

It’s less than $600 actually. I got lucky a lot but tbh there’s so many ways to get stubs it’s pretty crazy. Stubs, packs and cards just fly at you all over the game especially at the beginning.

You know thats always how it is right?

The overall stubs are roughly the same. Its just not as spread out. Verlander, Scherzer, Arenado, and Bellinger were much more expensive than Betts, Bellinger, and Arenado/Freeman/Tatis this time last year. Degrom and Cole are roughly the same. The difference is just all poured into Trout and Acuna

That’s why it’s called a grind

To site an example:
Trout, Degrom and Acuna alone are close to 800,000 stubs. That’s basically $800 in cash unless you’re extremely lucky with pulls or you get 12 BR wins and get them as rewards. That’s just taking advantage of people IMHO, especially with the extremely low percentage of pulling diamonds out of packs. Seems a little greedy to me...
Just a week or two ago, it wasn’t even close to that. Trout was around 350K and Acuna was 150K. I’m sure they’ll come down in the next 2 weeks. Or at least I hope they do.

Come DOWN in 2 weeks? More likely they keep going up. They always go up throughout the year, I doubt they will ever be much lower than they are right now.

Nah. They’ll come down once other cards come out. People get lucky pulls, buy packs, etc...supply will increase once the show goes on sale & stub sale hits.

I completed the collections in May 8. Total cost then was roughly 2M. Today the total cost is 1.91M.

It depends what they do next. If they do a flash sale prices will fall a good bit. If they do a stub sale the 90+ live series diamonds could really climb.
-
Might want to hold back on the greed and foul and other fun adjectives considering who it is that sets the prices.

It's all good ... We all pulled a lot of diamonds and get extremely lucky in packs opening so nothing to worry about ................................................. That great smell of sarcasm ............

I feel stubs are easier to come by this year so it hasn't bothered me anyone who has to spend cash this year isn't playing the game enough ...

Bought Trout early for about 300K stubs and packed DeGrom and Acuna on the first night of early access.
-
Glad I had already bought Acuna and Degrom at around 125k but Trout just keeps climbing.

This is the first year I've played where I actually think I can finish the LS collection. It might be at the end of July, but I'm confident I can do it with all the stubs and packs the game throws at us this year.

Me as well, but I have way more teams completed this year at this time than last!
I'm shocked at how low some Diamonds are, like Verlander and Arenado. Stras & Scherzer are cheap as well, while Acuna's price is ridiculous. -
Well see about Trout's value once we get a confirmation on on whether or not he's out longer than 6-8 weeks. Wouldn't his value drop if his condition is worse than originally thought?

I doubt he will drop at all, all they can change is his durability, and that might lower him 1 point, still gonna be a 400k card til ASB and there are new 99 cards every 3 days.

I don't believe they change ratings for players while they are injured, and while SDS has removed other injured players from teams and put them in free agency, I don't think they would ever do that to Trout. Even if inside edge didn't apply, Trout is still one of the best cards in the game. If anything his price is going to go up when there is a stub sale, and I'm pretty sure that will happen on Memorial Day weekend in less than 2 weeks. At that point I would predict 500k+ sell now price.
