Still Grinding for Mantle?
-
I managed to get Rollins finally, but given the price of the cards I'd need to get Mantle, I gave up on that. I hope there's some kind of limit on prices in 23 that doesn't make getting these cards impossible. Having a lot of cards attainable only through BR and Events is really unfair if you don't play them that much or at all. The rewards should be attainable no matter how you play, not just through one specific avenue.

Buy them earlier. All the Bronze, Silver, and Gold BR rewards were at or around quick sale value UNTIL Brett dropped.
If you invest in these cards early; they will practically pay for the others.
Before the Forever Event dropped, the Silver Mathews, Britton, etc were all under 100 stubs each.
If you bought 50 of them, even at 100 stubs each and sat on them until Brett came out, or even longer, you made a killing when you sold them off.

How do you know which ones are going to go up in value? Or do you just keep them all?
I'd say half of the earlier program cards go for 5k or less, while the other half are 200k and higher.
I plan to save cards as well, but I also want to buy up the ones that will go up in value.
Thoughts?

The earlier program ones normally go up, when the first collection is announced, and crash once the Forever Program is released.
Typically anything that can't be earned by packs, or are in limited pack, are worth stocking. So I'd they do the programs the same in 23 as they did with 22; anything you can earn in the reward path of a program, that can be bought, should be stockpiled if you can afford to do it.
The Bronze, Silver, and Gold BR cards are usually at a premium until they start showing back up in rewind packs. Same for any BR Diamond reward and any Event rewards.

Makes sense. Thank you

I'm trying to get Mantle about 10+ away for Finest and 5 2nd half heroes. I am still working on some of the other programs like Finest and so that is another 2 and I need 2 steals to get Miggy. I'm just going to try and get the rest playing the event. I cant compete with the WS guys and BR I am terrible at.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think all cards should be pullable from packs.

That assumes you want to play the market. I don't like to and didn't much last year. Why should playing the market be necessary?

Has nothing to do with playing the market; so to speak. Early in the game's cycle Bronze and Silver cards, other than LS players, are diet cheap. Yes, you have to sit on the until the first big collection, or a later one, drops; but that's not necessarily playing the market.
And it doesn't have to be done. Get the cards early and you won't have to pony up outrageous stubs later in the year.

I am 2 Finest cards away from Mantle. I still have to finished the finest program to get Carter and then win 3 more event games to get some the last one unless I put in a order
