The flash sale shouldn't affect a lot of the cards. Most of the collections aren't from packs but from rewards. Only cards LS and cards from packs like AS and HRD will go lower.
It’s probably going to be AS, HRD, Kitchen Sink & Space packs…. It’s going to be too easy to attain the collection reward. That’s an L in my opinion.
Casual players paid for the game as well. Everybody deserves a chance at using top tier cards.

I don't think it will be "easy" at all. For the average player in DD it may take months to get it, or they may not get it at all.

I think headliners, kitchen sink, AS, HR derby and live series. Probably in that order.

Too many people trying to profit from the collection.SDS is reacting to that. But it sure does take away from the grind. I always like having something to grind for. It makes the game rewarding.
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t get me wrong. The people who’ve prepared all year should get it reasonably fast. But for those who chose not to then it should take them a lot longer. Flash sales will help those who haven’t prepared

Also, yes people will be buying packs up during the flash sale, it's not like everyone who buys a pack (depending on what the packs are) is going to pull constant diamonds. Most people are going to invest a lot of stubs in packs for nothing. Certain ones like the HRD packs and AS packs will drive the price down on those lower tier cards and the higher ones to an extent as well. What I'm curious about is how the market will react with let's say HRD cards being a collection today AND a flash sale pack. They kind of would balance each other out. People will be trying to buy up the cards instantly for the collection and on the other hand there will be an increase in the amount of cards being available. It's interesting.

Also, people are going to be selling off X card(s) for X cards that they need for the collection. Might have a lot of Signature series cards for example but need a lot of 2nd half cards for example - it would kind of balance out the market. Honestly, it's just really unpredictable how it will all play out.

HRD itself wouldn't be a collection today, just Ohtani

This is also my assumption. Ohtani will be treated like Jackie.
The prices for top tier HRD/ASG cards will be minimally affected...might drop slightly. The lower tier cards will like plummet a bit more to original prices I think because they will be more likely to be pulled.
Its likely those that don't have Ohtani probably need more than 1 good pull to get him.

If that is the case, most people will still need AS and HRD cards to complete collection for Ohtani and in return collection for today. So, the demand for these cards will still be high. But I agree the prices will probably go down because supply will be higher.

If I had to guess this will be a guaranteed headliner, kitchen sink asg and HRD with the always present LS diamond pack at the end

Good luck to everybody willingly getting scammed on new packs only available for an hour.

Right 30k per pack for a 90% chance of losing money. No thanks

Man I hope the allstar and HR derby packs are in this sale
No! I just invested about 300K into them hoping to flip them when the Collection Reward is announced.

Yeah, they already stated to tank. Debating if I want to just dump them to minimize my losses or wait to see if they jump back up.

I am just Trout away from Ortiz and Chipper and I don't have the stubs to buy him, so against my better judgment and all my instincts I might buy a pack or two just to see if I get lucky... I'll hate myself as soon as I don't pull him though.

guess it just depends on how they structure the collection. If it's like the Mo collection then you were allowed to miss one and still get the collections done.

There’s a difference between earning and getting things handed to you. If you didn’t prepare you shouldn’t be able to get the collection done fast. These flash sales will enable people (probably like you) who didn’t prepare at all, to get the cards at a discount. In my opinion bigger collections shouldn’t be easy to obtain. Just like they gave you a gift this year being able to get World Series rewards when without it you couldn’t sniff World Series

The game has gone downhill for years, starting with potms. Next year they'll probably give everyone who pre-orders a LS Trout. I first started playing in 16, and once I discovered dd, was immediately pulled in. Now they just give everything away, and give every scrub a 99.
