LS collection

I am not super close, but slowly making progress, knocked out a lot of the lower diamond teams
-
I'm about half way there. I usually get it done around mid may so I'm definitely on pace .I'm lacking in the gatekeeper department as I only have 1.5 of them. Should be able to get AL Central and AL East done by Wednesday I think though
-
Ive gotten Orioles, Twins, A's, Marlins, Reds, Rockies, Padres, and Giants done. I've only opened two diamonds in packs Robert and Tatis so far. I have 40k stubs and no money spent. Rays will be the next team I finish as I have gotten all 3 golds out of packs so far. I have spent zero time flipping this year. I did some major flipping last year in May/June to finish the collection. I don't see myself doing that this year as I won't have nearly the time do so and its much harder than last also.
-
Not far along. There just isnt many stubs given out this year from playing and even less packs. I took a peek at how many of each team I had through all the packs I have received this year, and I haven't done any exchanges, and it ranges between 6 of 40 and 13 of 40. And then of course looking at the stub rewards for collection 20 or 30 I just sighed as it was basically nothing.
I also have Trout and have been saving for Ohtani for over a week and will complete the Angels first. I feel the only stubs I accrue is through flipping. Last couple years didnt even have to think of flipping.
-
Frank seems to hit better than last year for me. I don't start Gibson because of Trout, Acuna, and Clemente in the OF. Johnson is filthy. Mussina is pretty good for now. Not much speed but can paint the corners. Utley has a quick compact swing.
-
I should be done before the sun rises

I'm kinda surprised people aren't more excited about Randy at least. I can't wait to hane that card in my arsenal. Frank didn't do it for me last year but I've seen lots of people say they didn't like somebody's card one year and loved it the next.
I've got the NL Central done and at least 2 teams in every other division. I definitely habe had some solid pulls, Trea Turner being my best. I've gotten Scherzer 2x. Jose Ramirez, Marcus Semien, Gerrit Cole, Bryce Harper, Liam Hendricks, and several others. I'm in no hurry. I didn't started playingast year until end of May and still had the collection done long before the dark days of Jansen Junk and Johnathan Diaz.
I think some are miffed that it's a card from when he was a Mariner.
-
Just bought Trout today. About 75% thru the program. Grinding it cuz I like the grind but yeah I'm not super excited about the rewards either.

I mean, yeah his Dback days were better but it still looks like a solid card. Griffey as a Red and Pujols as an Angel still were great cards.

You might as well put him in an astros jersey. He's a dback he won 4 cy Youngs in a row with them. Thats the card he needs.
Alot of people don't know he went to astros for 1 season at the trade deadline. Had an amazing second half as well, he went 10-1 with a sub 1.28 Era. After that he went to Arizona.

That sounds like something they would have done last year hahaha. He was terrific that year for the Astros. 98, can't believe the Pads got past him in the NLDS.
I mean, he was with the Mariners for 10 years, won more games with them, had more strikes outs. I'm not arguing that his best years were as a Mariner. Obviously his 4 straight Cy Youngs, World Championship and Perfect game were in a Dbacks uniform but he definitely had a lot of success in Seattle.

I had to edit my comment like 6 times because I was on baseball reference and the man had a crazy career. A true hall of fame.

Hahaha, you and me both dude. I forgot he went back to the Dbacks, I forgot he started with the Expos. Top 10 pitcher all time at least.
-
Just need vlad it. And I am done
-
And live series is complete
-
I'm almost parallel 4 with Randy. He's the best pitcher this game has ever seen. Clemente is easily my best hitter and that includes my monster cap and trout. He has tons of pop this year. Last year he was buns. He is a true 5 tool player. I feel he is like last year's 99 Jackie just a little slower with a cannon. Frank is frank. Power hitter, slow swing. Can be replaced in a month or platooned with someone like prince fielder. Mussina is good not amazing. Unlock him the earlier the better. Utley is a stud. Fielder is a stud. 96 Jansen is really good. Napoli looks good but I haven't used him. I really like grandal and just unlocked 91 adley. Trying him for now. Get collections done as soon as you can as they will all become less usable the longer the year goes but I could see myself using randy and Clemente for the long haul. Clemente has surprised me the most. He's just really good. Go NL before AL if you can.
-
I wasn't going to do the LS this early, but decided there was just no use hoarding stubs and that the Big Ticket Cards will only go higher the next few months. I agree the rewards didn't blow me away, but I've now completed the entire AL, and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised with Big Frank's swing this year. I'm not sure if they've changed it or what, but he seems far easier to hit with this year and his swing just feels smoother. Was it worth locking in Trout, Ohtani and Vlad Jr? Well, I think those 3 will continue to go up in price (I bought them all on the market...NMS), but better to do it now if your gonna have a shot at it. I still need Acuna, Turner, Degrom, Max and Tatis in the NL, so It will be a bit before I get Clemente or Randy unless my free pack luck starts to get better.....been pretty bad this year.....

I like to think of Randy from his time with the Yankees.
-
Is it best to just save up for trout and let the rest come as NMS?
-
I wasn't planning on completing it right away either. But after some thought and help from people on here; I decided to sell off some rewards I bought, that I planned on holding onto for awhile, to buy Trout.
Now I have 200K and debating if I want to buy Ohtani and another player or wait.
Thing is, I'm going to either buy them and have no use for them or just let the stubs sit there since I'm done playing when I start the new job next week.
Wonder if I can get it completed in that amount of time?
