… unless they wind up in rewind packs in the new program…
This. Since I pulled a Gold Legend FB, that was from the first program, out of a Chase pack; I wouldn't it past SDS purposely putting previous Program specific cards in the reward path of this next program.
Who’d you pull? I don’t buy packs so I’ve never even opened a chase pack. But I don’t think they’ll put a BR or WS diamond card in a rewind pack considering how much grinding it takes to get them. It wouldn’t go over well.
The already have rewind packs in the ranked program for the first seasons rewards. All rewards from the first featured program are in standard and chase packs. The only cards that are currently unobtainable by any means other than buying them are the original 5 12-0 rewards, Santo, whoever the first BR 90 point guy was, and the 5 Spring cleanup bosses. That will change soon too
Yeah, I loaded up on 5 each of the SCU bosses thinking they would be 'extinct' until the end of the year; but I guess I'm selling them now just incase.
Seems like they're making it harder to make stubs unless you can constantly go 12-0 or make WS.
You aren't going to need stubs with the path they are going down though. They are handing out all the cards so many times that they are all dirt cheap.

I am really starting to feel this way myself. I think especially if people are patient, they will pretty much be able to get whatever they want. At this point I am way ahead of where I was at a year ago and I am spending way less time in the market.

If you want to maximize profit before the big collection, invest in the previous programs diamond cards that are only available in the market now and the diamond BR cards. Those cards skyrocket in price since there’s only 1 spot to get them from. Even having only 1 duplicate of each can give you tons of stubs. Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews, Chipper Jones, Jason Bay, David Price, Alec Bohm. Those are only a handful of cards who price will skyrocket Friday.
Historically the golds and silvers jump the most

I'm no where near where I was a year ago(I'm 35 cards from having all of them, but that number was closer to single digits this time last year). That being said my time spent flipping has been extremely minimal

Last year was my first year, so it took me a bit to figure some things out. I had a plan this year, but then the market didn’t work like the craziness it was last year and I probably overworked for a few weeks. Now that things have opened up, I am spending very minimal time and the lower cost of most things have helped. I started the year focusing on Legends and Flashbacks and kind of took it slow with Live Series. I think working backwards really helped me out.

To finish the LS Collection I will. Still need most of the Big 90+ players.

Everyone’s overthinking it
Diamond BR and WS will still go up in price. Even with the WS rewind pack not enough people get it to keep the price where they are now. Gotta be smart with your investments and clearly you guys don’t know what to invest in -

Golds and silver do NOT jump the most. If you invest in silvers especially you’re losing so many stubs

Ok thanks I guess I didn't make a million stubs or more per collection last year - yes BR rewards generally go up over time but not for collections as they become scarce they go up - for collections Silvers and Golds - rookie, breakout, all-star, veteran are all stub makers
-
Cards will jump based on the requirements for each series. Generally Postseason and 2H are harder early on but could also see Awards, Milestone, Signature and Prime jump. Milestone is a wildcard since there are 3 new ones in todays pack (kinda bs) so hard to say how many will be needed. I generally try and spread my duplicates (investments) across a number of series to hedge.
-
Also, as long as you’re buying cards near quick sell there’s no real risk. Best to hedge and have investments spread around (like if you were lucky enough to be sitting on a stack of Brett’s yesterday).
