I mainly do it because I’m a completionist. I have finished every live series collection going back to ‘16.
I get that wanting to collect cards but some people think they can't put on a competitive team if they don't do collections which is not true. TA 2 gets you tons of good free cards that gets you a god squad. I'm mainly targeting this thread to new players.
Honestly I don't know that we'll see a better 3B or 1B option than Chip and Papi, respectively. Throw some names out that we know are in the game if you think I'm totally wrong, but other than 99 Babe and Lou Gehrig I don't see anyone else even challenging Papi.
Chipper will probably be the best 3B by the end of the year but with Ortiz there are options that are cheaper to get like Jim Thome for example that are not far behind from Ortiz.

I have both. Ortiz starts at first. Thome is an option if I need 15 innings with Indians.

@MLBTS_MLBTS
Do you have Soriano, Chipper or Ortiz?
It's hard to take someone who hasn't used the cards opinion seriously. You are correct there are plenty of other great cards but those ones are the clear top cards -

Ortiz is better than Thome but the AL collections costs 900,000 and you cant get Thome for free. If your a NMS spent player and you are trying to get the best team you can quickly who do think would be the better option Ortiz or Thome?

Yeah it’s not for everyone. I think it’s silly people are like “BUT THE COLLECTION”. It’s like people just want to do it, just to do it.. which is fine. But it seems some feel obligated to. If you don’t care about these collections you can easily get enough stubs to play with any other player PLUS you can always sell that player back if it doesn’t work out.

I completed the live series collection very early. I got lucky and packed Trout and Cole so it cost me a heck of a lot less than 2.1M. The Soriano card has been great for me. I don’t love Chipper like a lot of others do but the card is pretty legit. I also enjoyed using a lot of the division and team rewards cards for a while as well. Now that there are better cards I use them less but they were great for the first month or two.

Only they are worth doing because your going to need the cards that you get for each team (IE Signature Glavine) for the big collection latter in the year, that is unless you don't want the big collection reward.

Exactly the point I am trying to make. There are options that are free that are not far behind from the best guy in the game at that position.

It's not like you have to complete the LS collection to do that big collection later in the year though. TA 2 gives you 60 legends and flashbacks.

That's a good point actually, ok sorry obviously didn't think this one through.

I’m NMS (not bragging at all I really don’t care) but it is perfectly possible to get the stubs to do LS without spending a dime

If Rivera worth 400-500k then Chipper, Trout and Ortiz probably worth 2 million. But I agree you could skip them and be alright.

I'm not saying it's impossible I just don't think it's worth it to sell the inning boss, BR rewards, event rewards to do the LS.

I haven’t sold any. Just invested and flipped. Granted that does take time, but I think there are a good number of people like me who enjoy that kind of thing.

If you flip and invest then you should totally complete collections but there are people that sell basically every card in there inventory to get collections done.

@kovz88_psn said in Collections:
Finley, Glavine, Soriano, Chipper, Ortiz.
There's 5 reasons to do the collections.
Every year someone tries to justify not doing collections by telling themselves the cards aren't worth itThey aren't ?
Glav to a extent & Chipper the rest not so much.

Didn't sell any non-dupe, didn't work the market, spent no money, but I've still had the LS collection done since early May. True, I had a lot of pack luck in the first three weeks, but this game also gives out a lot of stubs provided you don't waste them.

Start a new NMS if prices stay the same you'll be there for quite some time with these prices

I packed Cole the other day, and sold him to finish the NL, basically to buy Nolan and the Brewers Diamonds. I'm going to finish the AL but frankly I just don't feel like a huge need to. Last year I was trying harder to because there was XP for the XP path, but this year since it's really only stubs I don't feel a huge rush to get it done.

@mlbts_mlbts said in Collections:
It will just keep growing unless SDS does a pack sale or a flash sale involving live series diamonds to stop the prices from going up.
Great idea SDS. Doing a XBOX stub sale when the prices are already high enough.
