    @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Ok. Let's try this again:

    Watch a video by a content creator where he stated the first thing he's going to do after Midnight the 24th is rip open his pre-order packs and sell off EVERYTHING that's sellable.

    Why? He said that he wants to have a decent bank roll so he can start flipping. But why sell off EVERYTHING; when chances are you'll have to buy it back at a premium?

    If you want a decent sized bankroll just buy stubs. It's not like these content creators are actually using their own money.

    I can see selling off Event and Program Rewards, if you get them early enough, as you can probably buy those back cheap.

    But wouldn't your first priority be to complete the LS Collection?

    2 years ago I did the “sell everything” strategy on launch night. I ended up selling the “42 series”
    Card I chose for like 8K. Those cards steadily rose to like 50K each and were impossible to obtain for the first 2 inning programs.

    Tl;dr - it all depends on collections, need to see the game first before we know what to sell.

    Meh, I know I’m gonna be flipping all year. Not interested in selling cards that may jump on me like the poster above mentioned with his “42” example.

    To me, the name of the game is collect, collect, collect and unfortunately, I was born without patience… Axl Rose would be disappointed in me.

    I’ll sell all duplicates but otherwise, once I pull a new card, it stays in the collection.

    Agreed. Its just easier to keep rather than try and guess that market / availability on future sets.

    The only exception is low diamond LS cards. Those are smart to sell right away because that market behaves the same every year. They'll be worth 10-40K the first couple of days as the content creators overpay for collections. As more and more packs are ripped and less content creators are overpaying, those go down drastically within the first week.

    For me it’s always about what cards are where and how I can acquire them, I’ll sell the cards in one collection to get the card I want in another, as the year goes on that strategy changes

    The idea is that prices are inflated at first due to people trying to complete collections/being buyers. He likely plans to wait long enough to do collections until the cards are no longer going for premium prices. Sounds like hes just valuing stubs more than trying to get an elite team right off the bat.

    that is exactly the best strategy that i use year in and year out

    Selling off all live series immediately may be even a better play this year given what we have already seen out of the WBC program. Live series may be extremely cheap very quickly with the new content model this year.

    I'm going a different route this year than I did the last 2 years.

    I'm going to keep every last card I get, I'm not going to buy anything either. Atleast until the end of summer. I'm not going to rush getting the collection done and just run with whatever cards I earn.

    I think they may still carry a premium due to potential investments and depending on the Collection rewards.

    I sell pretty much everything I can. I try to have a decent lineup and then sell the rest. When I go do collections, I buy the card at a lower price. Most often, I'm trying to buy them (the live series when possible) at the quick sell value.

    The only place for most of these prices to go is down. SDS, credit to them, eventually make you able to acquire anything and everything and as more and more are out there, the prices go down. The only time it's backfired on me is maybe when a gold goes diamond or some other upgrades. But it doesn't happen that often. I sell and then decide where I want to prioritize my buying.
