If you would flip cards with margins over 1000 stubs, you wouldn't have a problem.
I’m just starting out flipping for this year and I want to do low-risk stuff at first.
Go for one of the headliners like Eck that are close to quicksell value. If you have the stubs up front, that's about as low risk as you can get.
I've been flipping headliners for a while, and I now have almost every player card in the game.
The problem with flipping headliners is that as soon as there's a flash sale they all tank. Which will surely happen in the middle of whatever I'm doing
I always stop flipping by 12pm on the day that new packs drop. I wait for the drop and then buy cheap cards in bulk to sell back when the market bounces back.
Also, if you're flipping headliners that are around quicksell value, worst case scenario you just quicksell them.

Low risk gets you low reward. It's life.

not a bad strategy, the one i used.but its mostly 50 stubs per card now, the bigger windows opened only a few times and not in the last couple weeks ,so it will be a slog but keep looking a window does open every once in a while, but be fast they close quick.

If others don’t want to profit to begin with. I’m seeing all these cards that have sometimes hundreds of sell orders placed that are half of their usual going price. It’s really annoying.
The people that place these orders are only getting 20 stubs a pop when someone buys them, so where is the logic here?
Look at LS Miguel Sano for example. No sense at all.
I just want to make some stubs of the market, but something is deeply wrong here. I’m NMS.
Yeah, I've been flipping cards for the last several years and it's never been this bad. I usually have the collections done by now but I won't even do that this year. I'll need over 600k just to finish the Angels. That's just way too much to earn in this market, and too much time to earn it. They finally found a way to make you pay cash to complete the collections. Congratulations SDS. But whatever. The moments are fun to do, but the rest is a grind and I have other things I can do.

The best, smartest & easiest way to flip cards is buying & waiting for the next roster update. Lets use Will Smith from the Dodgers. He is an 84 Gold with a Quick Sell of 1500 & his Sell Now Market Price is bouncing up & down from 1500 to 1600. Lets say if you bought 10 of his cards at 1500 stubs each. If he goes Diamond. At 85 his Quick Sell is 3000, at 86 is 3750 & at 87 its 4500. So you will clearly turn nice profits. If he stays at 84, then you have not lost anything. You can Quick Sell him for 1500 each which is what you paid. Your loss would only be if he dropped to a 83 with a Quick Sell of 1200.
So the key is buying cards at Quick Sell Values which are most likely to be upgraded by 1 to 3 tiers.

The people that create an order wall with 20 or more at the same price are the people that drive me crazy.

That's not flipping, that is investing

Flipping works this year it just takes a little more patience and persistence.
I have flipped my way to completing the Live Series Collection.
The only money I have spent was initial purchase.
Stay with it. Good Luck

Nah, because you lose 10% to their "tax"...which has got to be one of the most insulting things they've ever done in the history of in game markets(It's been this way forever, doesnt make it any less asinine). Equipment and perks seem to be the safest bet this year

Low risk low reward.

I keep hearing that it is hard to make stubs. It isn’t. I’m at 3 million with all the cards collected for Ruth.

Thats because people are flipping common through gold cards, and they're mad they aren't swimming through a sea of stubs like Scrooge McDuck.
Meanwhile, I made about 100k already today

In future forex trading the people who lose money say it's manipulation but never say a word when they make money.

I can’t believe the amount of time people spend on flipping cards and not just playing the game…

Maybe it's more fun for them

Flipping cards is how I earn stubs as a player who does not purchase stubs with actual, real-life money. It’s a grind, sure, but a penny saved is a penny earned!

Exactly, you just have to know what to flip, the last few days have been the best ones I've personally had all year so far. I have all prospects now and just missing 4 FOTF players.

Except the 10% tax only applies to market transactions.
So Quicksells will always net you full amount (IE the 1500 from being 84). Which is why when you pull a gold or a diamond and you want to see it on the market you need to figure out the breakeven number for it to make sense to list. In the case of an 84 with a QS of 1500 you need to list it as a Buy order for 1666 or 1667 to match QS value. Theres a lot of player cards that you're just better off quickselling.
I also don't know if the game rounds up or down with decimals so 90% of 1667 is 1500.30, or 90% of 1666 would be 1499.40

In the case of an 84 with a QS of 1500 you need to list it as a Buy order for 1650 to match QS value. Theres a lot of player cards that you're just better off quickselling.
I think you would need to sell at or above 1666 to break even.
