Flipping is beyond me which is why I've never been a millionaire in all my years playing MLBTS. How do you even flip

Use the companion app. I’m done flipping so I’ll just tell you what I was doing. The companion app makes this extremely easy. Sort filters to to 40-74. Sort by buy now. Margins will be about 400-500 on some of these cards. Avoid new cards. I try for cards that have a buy now for around 550-800. The sell now on these will be around 100 stubs and can be as low as 40.
Put in 50 buy orders, for the same card at the highest sell now value wait about an hour. See how many went through then put them back on the market for 1 less stub than the lowest. Rinse and repeat. Do this with as many cards as you’d like. Flip margin is about 400-500 a card.
That’s 20k if you get all the orders filled and then sold.
If for some reason the margins get jacked up which they will. Pull your buy orders and go after it again if the margin is still good.
Adrian Sanchez alone has made me about 500k in stubs the last 3 days.

Can someone help me out with flipping cards? I wanna make some stubs too but if not its fine. Its just my first year and I wanna learn how y'all are doing it.
Right now I don't have any because bought last cards needed for 99 Ohtani today. Now kinda might be regretting it but only 1 game so far. -
If you don't want to give out tips its fine. I'm just hoping to find out because I wanna get cards like Mookie and Chipper for my team to enjoy the game more.
If anyone wants to help just message. -
I've never had the patience to save stubs until I have millions. I think whatever it took to buy trout when I got him was the largest my balance has been all year. I keep telling myself that I'll build up a bunch of them, but as an obsessive collector the desire to quickly buy every good new card that comes out always overrules my common sense.

The easiest way is to look in the market to find cards with biggest gaps between their buy now price (the higher of the two values) and their sell now price. Put a buy order in for the sell now price plus 1. Order is fulfilled and you turn around and sell it at the buy now price minus 1. Keep in mind that the more expensive the card is the more juice is squeezed out of it (10% tax). The other way to do this is investments. Basically predicting that a cards value will go up based on market trends and in game ratings improvements (ie gold to diamond investment). It’s really simple but can be tedious and extremely monotonous but is a proven way to increase your in game wealth if that’s what you’re after. It’s also nice to be able to afford those ultra premium cards that you don’t have the ability to get because you’re not an elite top 50 player (not saying you the poster is not elite) that can go 12-0 in BR whenever they feel like it or have the time to grind to WS in RS.

I bought 1,210 LS SALVY for ~1.8 Million stubs.
He went Diamond last week. “I’M RICH B****!”

So what happens if you have an investment that outs you over 5 million? Let's say you have 4.5 million and you cash in on a million stub investment. Do you lose 500k stubs?

I am an offline player so stubs are critical for me to buy the RS and BR cards. I have well over 5M in stubs right now. In past years I did a lot of flipping cards and not carrying a lot of inventory. It was time intensive but easy. This year I switched to a strategy of buying up everything I can during market crashes and when certain cards are at close to QS prices because SDS keeps releasing the same packs, and then holding them until their prices recover and then selling them. I’ve found this year’s way to be much easier and takes much less time.

Example buy asg vlad jr 200k sell for 225. 5 k profit after 10% tax -
Since I am no longer playing and have over 5M stubs still here's how I made around 15M stubs this season:
-
I flipped silver equipment and gold perks for the first 2-3 weeks until I got collections done. Average profit was around 200-600. Eventually dried up.
-
switched to gold equipment for the next few weeks to get a solid bankroll of 2M+. Average profit was 300-1000 until market dried up.
-
flipped topps cards almost exclusively for 4-6 weeks. Some other cards mixed in but primarily topps cards. Average profit was 400-1200. Stopped doing it because I had enough stubs to not need to flip anymore. I believe flipping topps is still profitable.
-
landed big on a bunch of investments (vlad, Wheeler, rodon, Lynn, Barnes, Yuli, Correa, altuve, albiez, kimbrel, bichette, glasnow, etc, etc, etc. These were done with volume (100+)
-
day of an update I would try to figure out who was a lock to go diamond and put buy orders in for 3001 (sometimes a bit higher if there was a LOT of volume higher up) for those cards. Why? Because people end up QS'ing cards for market price instead of card value price (5K) in volume. I would have 150+ buy orders in for kimbrel, Correa, glasnow, albies, etc, etc and they would all complete by the end of an update weekend so that was an extra 200K+ profit for doing nothing.
We're those buy orders a risk? Sure. I lost on some but easily made over 3M stubs just doing those pre-update buy orders.
Anyway, that's really it in a nutshell. Other people have different methods but this is what worked really well for me and a handful of others I shared with.
Edit: what I forgot to mention is you need volume. 200 stub flips are FINE when you can do it 50x in the span of 5 minutes.
As an example of my process:
- I would filter for all topps cards
- place buy orders on EVERY topps card
- go do something to let the buy orders complete
- come back and cancel the buy orders that did not complete
- place sell orders on the cards you bought
- place a new round of buy orders
- rinse and repeat
This was how I worked silver equipment, gold perks, and gold equipment. There was such volume for these cards that profits were continuous.
Sounds like I was sitting on the market all day but my actual time IN the market was probably less than hour total per day.
