Has anyone 100% completed set 1? I’m almost done with the TA sets and I’m still a ways away from 100%. Even if I played online modes, I still wouldn’t have the cards.
Is there any way of completing it 100% without buying cards/stubs?
I have gotten to 260 but admittedly I flip and have bought cards. @SaveFarris_PSN who is our trusty show-storian may have a count of how many Set 1 cards there are in programs and such.
Also @Blind_Bleeder and @arvcpa_PSN are spreadsheet guys so they may know.

I think you can get pretty close. I completed it by mainly no sell cards like TA, Topps now, etc. I did end up buying some but the ones I did buy were at or close to QS value. I did not have to lock in any expensive cards
-
90 cards in the TA1 program, 21 cards in the WBC program, 10 cards in the Charisma program, 5 cards in the egg hunt, 50 cards in the April tops now program, and 18 cards in the Monthly program. By my math that should be 194 cards for free
Not to mention how many you could get by doing the set 1 program itself. So that may bring it close to 230 cards.

Thanks for the mention, but I'm so far behind on grinding that I don't have a clue.

I'm 8 short. I do have enough stubs to buy them, but I'm holding off to see what I'll ultimately need for Set 2 (or maybe Set 3).
-
At 247 of 260. I’m waiting to see if BR and Ranked Rewind packs become a thing, and if some of those Set One choice packs make their way into rewards paths.

I'm in the same boat. I don't plan on using Pedro, but I've made enough this past week to pick up the last 8-10 cards I need for the final pack. I'm just waiting until after the flash sale when prices come down a bit so I can get a better deal.
I think collections will look different this year. I doubt we get the usual collections like allstar, postseason, rookie, etc. There will eventually be 6 sets and a core collection. If there is a mega collection, they will probably just use those choice pack cards as vouchers.
-
This will probably be the first year where I don’t collect every card and have like 20 million stubs at the end. I am not flipping at all this year so that hurts my stubs a little. However, there is just an insane of amount of cards so far and so many of them have not been attainable so far unless you buy them from the market or buy the packs.
-
I really don’t know what I’m missing. I’ve completed every single program besides TA, but I’m only missing 8 cards from that. That’ll only put me at 204.
I don’t know where I’m missing the rest from.
-
Probably cards from packs that were in The Show Shop

Or you can look at the collection and see which ones are grayed out.
-
I haven't locked in any of my cards yet. I'm waiting to see how it effects the market later in the year. I'm saving all the cards and possible XP for a quick jump at the end game cards that will more than likely be in the year end program.

BR cards are core cards

I'm at 201 now and 7 cards left to get from TA. I don't know how I'm supposed to get the remaining 52 cards without spending money (which I will not do).
I was able to complete every single set last year without spending money, although I did have to flip a lot of cards at the end to make stubs. That seems to be unlikely so far this year.
I'm really hoping this isn't the beginning of the end for NMS on the Show. Madden trended that way in the last 5 years and it made me walk away from it completely.

Slow flip rate? Margins have opened up since the start of the stub sale, and the market is pretty active. I've made a minimum of 500k since Friday. I'm pretty sure it's actually a lot more than that, but it's hard to say since I've kept many of the cards I was flipping.

Not the Flawless reward cards, and that’s what would be in Rewind packs if there are any.
