$0, but wife and I maxing out 5 retirement accounts. FIRE!
I'm pretty sure you can put Stubs into your 401k, and then use them for MLB 35.
Haha. People would spend less on [censored] with no value if they thought in terms of compound interest.
457s here. No age restrictions on withdrawals. We’re retiring in about 5 years at age 43.

Glad this is a topic. For those of you who work the market, how active is it early on when nobody really has anything? Is it smart to buy cards and hold them for a bit, or flip like normal? I assume the margins will be much smaller which makes sense. Just not sure how rapid the market moves.
It is very active day one, Some people will flip the best new addition cards day one, Buy them up and then sell and buy them back when they are cheap. People will be buying packs like crazy and selling what they do not want or for sure the duplicates, Yes flip early and often. Some will sell every thing but the Division they are trying to collect, Some do collections by Team, Division, NL or AL. For example, I would do Dodgers, Giants,Padres, Col, AZ, Sell anything I get besides diamonds even then might sell off diamonds that are not in that division or the team I am working on, Then move to the NL East or NLC next start working on the AL divisions.

Thanks, good stuff. I figured it would be pretty active. Will be interesting with the app on Day 1. That didn't launch until May or June last year right?

If anything, how much are your spending day 1 on packs?
I don't buy packs waste of stubs

Market moves extremely quick the first few weeks. Margins aren't there at all though so quantity over quality is the flipping strategy early on

I think maybe 200 or 300 bucks because I can and because for some reason spending money on the game triggers the NMS crowd so there is that element to it as well.
#moneyspentsquad
us NMS people can careless how much you spend on the game. Your money your choice.
You are an exception to the rule, most NMS hate on those of us who spend $$. What they don't realize is that without money spenders, NMS people would never get certain cards at reasonable prices.

457 blows (thanks to no matching). I’d much rather a 401.
PS: my sister has you beat. She retired at 38 (though she had “help” from her husband’s Exxon account.).
6 years, 7 months for me. (11/1/2028 to be exact)

You’ll need to get creative with a Roth conversion ladder or a taxable bridge account if you want to retire early and live off your investments. You won’t have access to that 401k until 55.
