How are nms players getting collections done?

I finally got Griffey 500 collection for MLBTS21 like two weeks before 22 came out. Better late than never.

I'm curious as to when you guys usually get the live series collection done. I'm probably in the top 1% of stub earners year to year via flipping and I have never once completed the live series before mid May
I probably did it around the same time last year with no flipping…only WS and BR rewards…programs and stuff.
-
I’m in no rush…the game gets kind of stale when you have everything collected and five million stubs sitting around. I actually sold a card for a million stubs last year not realizing I was at the limit and lost it all….that’s how bad the stub over abundance was.
I’m enjoying having a reason to play.

I'm just b doing the low level teams first. Then if I pull a diamond for a particular team, I go after them. I just pulled Tatis, bit not sure I'm going after thr Padres since Hsomer is a [censored] card and I don't have the stubs for the Dodgers yet.

Don't buy everything new and shiny. Put it all towards collections. It's not rocket surgery....
I sell every card I get out of events, br etc.
My pack luck has been horrendous tho, every diamond I got has been an 86 or 85. It's bad
-
NMS and just missing Tatis. My pack luck has been pretty crazy. Trout, Acuna twice, DeGrom, Soto a few times, Grandal like 4 times, tons more diamonds. Early I flipped Acuna at like 190k and got Ohtani when he was at 100k and a slew of other diamonds.
I’ve played the Conquest a ton and spent a lot of time clearing my binder. Card prices are high, so clear your binder.

Top 1%? You sure about that...already flipped my way to completion....done within the first few weeks every year
How?

I have opened only two diamonds the entire year and I am nearly done with the the featured program. Played all single player modes and play online. They are Robert and Tatis. Yes I got super lucky with Tatis, but pack luck has been dry. I get excited when I get a gold.

What do you mean how? -
@wildthingwilly_psn said in How are nms players getting collections done?:
Just curious how yall are approaching collections. I got the al central done off rtts, but the market is really tight and exchanges aren't it this year. I've just been playing through some events, but teams like the angels or Mets just seem impossible rn for me
We're waiting? There's still 10 days left of the first program you're not going to be anywhere near finishing the live series unless you have insane pulls. You just have to grind away and wait for more content. I've already bought Trout and I'm back up to 100k and I have a good chunk of the non-diamond guys from packs. Just takes time.

No reason to. Collection rewards are pretty meh this year. Will probably do them at the end of the year when everything is tanked in price.

I’ve been flipping cards. The margins have been minimal for the most part. But, there are plenty of “free” stubs sitting out there on the market place. Gotta take advantage of those:

Not worth the price tag for someone who plays every 4-5 games and will just be one of many amazing SPs in a month or two. They botched Randy. Could’ve been a lot better with a more accurate to IRL release.

Don’t buy packs!!!! Every stub you earn should go to the LS collections. You can complete most teams for under 15k stubs. The teams with a bunch of diamonds like the Mets, Braves, Dodgers, Astros, And Angels because of Trout and Ohtani are going to cost you 500k plus to complete. So you’ll need to attack the market to accrue those stubs to complete the collection. You can easily complete the LS collection in the first month. The key is don’t buy packs!!!! They are a complete waste of money with rarely no decent return on investment.
Agreed, although this early I love buying 50 bundles and ripping them open. NMS, so I've gotten burned a couple times, but I've also pulled Trout, Acuna twice, DeGrom, and slew of other diamonds (Grandal like 5 times). Prices for bronzes and silvers are still very high for low-tier teams so you can recoup a lot of what you lose if you don't get a good pull.
Again, I agree it's stupid, but I what can I say -- I've enjoyed it. Now I just need Tatis, sitting at about 70K with Andrew Miller ready to sell when the price hikes. Or just organically get more stubs through the mystery map. LS should be done in a few days, I hope...

I never finish b4 August, but mosly personal preference. I usually take free packs all year and just fill teams up as i get cards. I don't buy off market either. Not going to give hard earned stubs to other player who inflate prices.
-
I just recently finished the live series. Flipping has been real tough lately, margins just aren't there. I'm hoping to get every card in the game this year but I'll probably focus more on enjoying the game until later in the cycle and then focus on collections when making stubs is easy post-september

Still isn’t worth it. It’s just like Kluber in 19. Dominant at the start but in a month or two everyone will have gotten their reps and seen his stuff to get ripped up.
