Do you guys think there’s any need to have every card for a later collection? I really don’t feel like trying to buy the Schmidt, Sandberg, Frazier, etc.
I bought those guys because they will be 1 million stubs or close to after the big collection drops. Thats my stub stash for now, that and like i mentioned earlier Reggie Jacksons BR card.
This is not true. Just because we saw million stub cards last year does not mean we will see million stub cards this year. Hundred thousand some two hundred thousand cards but million stub cards won’t happen because of what they’ve done to make rare cards more attainable this year.
SDS has made the rare cards more attainable this year but very few people are willing to win 50 RS games or get 100 pts in BR. Furthermore even if they do, People are not going to use their BR or WS packs on older cards. They buy the newest or most expensive cards. Next understand that SDS has made it super easy to make stubs this year they have given away millions and millions via free packs and also with crazy upgrades from golds to diamonds and such. This causes two things to happen. First there is an overwhelming supply in live series cards and those values have plummeted. Second the cards who have less circulation will now be sold for even more stubs because more people have more $ and are willing to spend more for rare cards. I know that some argue that supply in rare cards is going to be much higher this year however "Mike Schmidt" is a perfect example of what's going to happen in the next few months to the BR cards. Now your statement of we will not see 1m cards is partially correct because diamonds that are 95 and below have a max sell of 700k ( I know this because I have listed several of my rares for 700k in the market). Cards 96 and above can go to 1m. SO yes we won't have all 1m cards for rares many of them will cap at 700k. You used the example of million stub cards last year and that likely it won't happen again. What you forgot to do was look at what has happened for the past 5 or so years. Guess what there are always cards that hit the max cap. Was Harper and Bagwell when the cap was 500k when the cap went to 1m then cards eventually made their way to 1m. It has happened every year and this year probably wont be different. I suggest finding cards to invest in now so you can make some $ back to buy what you sold. That would be a better use of your time than making posts without evidence to support your claims.
Believe what you want brother, I’m just saying that it’s not likely. Last year was an anomaly due to the pandemic and people having much more time on their hands. They over saturated the market with stubs and we ended up with a thing called inflation. We do not have this nearly as much this year. That’s not to say making stubs isn’t easy there are just fewer pathways than last year. Just saying. Not trying to troll just making an observation.

since the calendar goes to the 20th which is a Tuesday i am thinking either the 23rd or 30th, which are both Fridays. usually it comes out around there.
Usually??? Not sure that usually is the appropriate word here seeings that there has never been multiple 99 collections until this year. Last year we got the Mayes collection in early August. That’s if they are even planning another big collection. And no they haven’t eluded to another collection, you’re just assuming there will be another.
they confirmed that there will be atleast 2 "big collections" like Mo. So yes there will be at least one more and it Usually comes out in late july like the past 2 years.
What do you call Ohtani!!! By my recollection that’s a collection and it’s not nearly as easy to obtain as Rivera, unless you’re willing to dump a million plus stubs on garbage HRD cards and the 2021 All Star standouts. There will be far less people running around with Ohtani than Rivera. Either way those are two big collections as you would like to put it. Now I’m not saying that there won’t be another one I just don’t think you should be banking you’re future on conjecture at this point.

Ohtani is the Equivalent to HRD griffey from last year. Also on the stream that revealed Rivera it literally said more legends and flashback collections confirmed

Pre COVID years have also resulted in cards going to the max cap. COVID only increased the amount of players who played and thus created lines for cards such as Chipper and Wagner. We have had lines before so this is nothing new. Now with Xbox players we have significantly increased the player base and we will once again see lines for cards just not as bad due to situations where someone can win 50 rs games or 100 BR points for the one card that they want. What won't happen is other BR cards will not have an increased supply because people won't be getting Garrett Anderson in their BR packs so his card is no longer available and we won't be getting more of him (unless SDS opens him back up in BR packs). So now you don't have to pay 1m for this years Chipper you can earn him. So what will you spend your 1m stubbs on? Bingo another rare card. Ergo super high prices cards.

This is where I agree with you but not for the same reasons. More people will have Rivera than Ohtani because Rivera is now easier to get as you can buy a ton of QS Space Pack cards and people will be able to pick up Rivera on the way to getting the next "Big" collection. You are correct Ohtani is expensive. Now where I think you are becoming a troll (you are telling this poster that he should not base his future on conjecture). The advice you are giving him is exactly what you are doing. You are not taking the evidence that has been presented and you are choosing to believe something else with little evidence that supports your claims. There is no past history that supports your beliefs and there is nothing coming from SDS that confirms your assumptions. The safe route is to collect every card and to flip / invest to make enough stubs to do so.

Whatever the new collection is, do you think that cards used for a big collection already will be used again? For example, the HRD cards used to get Otani or any of the TA3 cards?

Ohtani might be part of the next big collection. You would probably get a voucher for collecting him.

similar to collecting Jackie

Take a look at all the Flashback and Legend cards that are bronze - Gold. Many of those cards are at the max price for their rank. This is caused because there is not enough supply to satisfy the demand. If there isn't enough supply in bronze cards such as "El Duque" or silver cards that were free when the game was first released, then how is there going to be enough supply in the even more rare cards to keep them from going to the max price. These are the signs that supply is short and that demand is high. I am not always correct in my predictions but I do understand supply and demand. I just made 1.5m on low supply cards Hendricks and Bogearts because I understood that demand would cause them to go up. I bought those cards between 5.2k and 6k and have been selling them from 10k to 14k. I have owned every card that can be bought from the market over the past 4 years and I have never bought stubs. My arguments are based on history and economics and if you believe otherwise I will gladly buy your rare cards as I need something to invest my excess stubs in as the max limit in inventory is 5m.

BTW the Flashback and Legends that are at max price is not causes by investors hoping to make a quick $. Investors have long left those markets as they cannot squeeze any more $ out of cards that are already at the max price. The only people who buy them are people who want to use them to complete a collection. The demand is real and will cause other cards to rise. Take a look at Prime cards. Currently there are only 14 available. Britton is a daily reward and no longer accessible and Tanana requires Trout. Next you have Frazier who was an event reward and no longer available and you have Harvey who will be unavailable after the 20th and Anderson (BR reward). This leaves 9 cards which might be on the market. Jason Bay was the most popular of the bosses but still somewhat rare and no longer available so actually there may be as little as 8 of the 14 cards available in the market. If SDS requires 80% of the prime cards then demand for them is going to go crazy. I don't know how high they will go but I do know that they will be higher than they are now and if you had the understanding to pick up a bunch a few days ago (Bay at 9k) you would be really happy even if you sold them today. Understand supply and demand and you will become a millionaire at this game.
Forgot to mention Reese is also an event card not available. So yea lots of demand and little supply soon to be incoming. -

No not every. I do have most thanks to the crash last week. Definitely will need guys like Acuna, POTM Lightning, Ohtani, etc.
Keep in mind though that the sets that have guys like Schmidt will be super inflated come collection time because not everyone will afford a $500k+ card meaning more demand for the other cards.
How are you liking your boy Ohtani?
Loving him this year! You know me though; I loved him last year just as much, haha.

I think it will be Aaron, and it will be tough. You will need Jackie, Rivera, Acuna, Ohtani, and Chipper.
I'm hoping it's this... Have all 5

I feel a little bad for the people who sold me all their rare and limited supply cards when they dipped a few days ago. they will be paying 3-4 times as much for them as they sold them to me for. Thank you XBOX first year players.
You know what would be hilarious, if they didn’t release another big collection and you got stuck with basically worthless cards that you would have to sell at a significant loss. That might fix your smug arrogance.
Did everyone buy their BR and rare cards back? Just noticed they are 2x3 times more expensive. I don't think they will be coming back down for a while.

When does Madden release this year? Probably right around then
I'm actually going to get it.
2 years of no videogame football, and I have the shakes.
I gave up on Madden, but will play for the trophies/achievements at least.
I'm wondering if we should hold on to Topps Now cards, just in case they're required. -

I have 1
I don't hit well with Aaron, so I may not need him.
All respect in the world to him though. -
Anybody holding onto a ton of the bronze legends that were released at the start of the game? I only have around 5-7 of each that I bought for quick sell back then. I imagine there are some investors that could have a stash of those.

I think most of those all sold when the Mariano Rivera collection dropped. There was a huge number of sales and lockins.
