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.
Randy Johnson is amazing
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.
They fixed that

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
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.

Randy will be the best pitcher for at least 5 months

I dont know what everyone is talking about, for those that know the market and are experienced,flipping has been awesome, wasnt expecting it this early its usually not until a month or 2 that it opens up. maybe its those youtube vids i hear about(never watched one- dont need to) they wont help you.learn the market watch the ups and downs how it moves.that is the only secret. know the timing and it wont matter what the margins do.

I haven’t completed to all the collections yet but I’m making really good progress thanks to luck. Pulled Trout from an award pack (forget which one), just pulled Juan Soto from the April Scouting pack.

Pulling ANYTHING from the scouting pack is luck that is beyond luck. Well done.

2017: Day 158 (9/1) 3.133M (Kershaw final card)
2018: Day 134 (8/12) 2.356M (Scherzer final)
2019: Day 95 (6/27) 1.225M (Yellich final)
2020: Day 74 (5/24) 1.399M (Bellinger final)
2021: Day 48 (6/1). 1.570M (Bellinger)2022: Taking a different tact. Now that I can’t flip at work anymore (allegedly), I’ve got to be a little more frugal. So I’m going to delay chasing after LS cards and just wait for the pack luck gods.

Just flipped my way to enough for Trout after spending some along the way…now idk if I want to grab trout or just wait until I’ll have a little surplus after purchasing so I can keep flipping/investing

Thanks! If I may add…Just completed one of the Uniform collection levels, received 1 pack reward…pulled Ohtani.

You always want to keep enough to keep flipping

Edward Cabrera will disagree

I’d rather smash the console than flip cards so it will take a while this year. Not nearly as many avenues to cards or stubs this year offline.

I flipped for a week straight, did all the collections and got mauer, it's not hard

Last night I saw a crazy stupid margin on a Sponsorship -- 1K v. 37K. I knew it was a lure, but said what the hell. Wound up being able to flip 2 of them for 25k before the whole thing crashed. Got stuck with one I bought for like 3.5K.
I have the LS done, so I bought Yelich to try out.
For anyone who doesn't know, MiLB uniforms have good margins. I don't flip regularly, but if I did, I'd do a lot of those. I don't like sitting and waiting on stuff, and those go fast.
